Independence Day

with 5 comments

In my Heartlight.org article today, I talk about our real Independence Day being on Sunday … every week. Sunday is the day of resurrection, the day our victory was assured and the power of death over us was defeated (Hebrews 2:14-18 NLT) . So let’s think through a few things:

How has Jesus brought you independence?

How would Sunday, and Communion, be different if we celebrated it in light of the resurrection and Jesus victory and not just remembering the crucifixion?

Do you think there is something important about the early Christians taking the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7 NLT) , the day of Jesus’ resurrection, rather than taking it on the day of his crucifixion?

I’d love to hear from you in the response section below.
