ITS FRIDAY BUT SUNDAYS COMING

Luk 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

It is here just moments before Jesus gives up the Ghost and dies. This marks the end of a long day we refer to in Religion as Long Friday. A long day of darkness and pain had come to an end. This days struggle started in the garden of Gethsemane, where his sweat fell as blood. It continued with the betrayal of Judas, and with the rejection of his own people shouting crucify. Then it went on to the mocking of the soldiers and the pain of the whipping and punishment.  AT last and finally the horrible slow and painful death of the crucifixion. This day is synonymous with betrayal, denial, cowardice, hate, suffering, despair, defeat and death.

But even though everything seemed hopeless and dark this long Friday night, and even though many thought this was the end, and that this ministry had failed, they didn’t know that there was another day coming…

 

Matt 28:1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

 

This day, the first day of the week, a sunday. Now the darkness is gone, and the Bible says it began to dawn. The dawn of this day marks the beginning of a new day and a new time. This will be a time of victory, hope, restoration, joy, life miracles signs and wonders!

 

If you find yourself on the dark side… If you find yourself on Friday side… If you are on the side of betrayal, denial, cowardice, hate, suffering, despair, and defeat. You need to tell yourself this: Its Friday, but Sundays coming! The story didnt end on Friday, and neither will yours. There is another day coming as the dawn of a new day and a new time is arriving. SUNDAY is coming. And even to them that has experienced the loss of loved ones, I will remind you: Its Friday, but Sunday is coming. The day of resurrection is coming. Peter said this in his letter: 

 

1 Pet 1:11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

Don’t do like Judas! Don’t end your spiritual life on a Friday. Stick around til Sunday. There is a GLORY that will follow the sufferings. Its Friday, but Sunday is coming.
