Keeping the Lord’s Day as Sacred

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

-Hebrews 12:28

Have you even noticed how that certain days of the week have a certain feel to them? For example, Monday has a definite feel doesn’t it? Over the years there have been songs written about Monday and how people don’t seem to think much of that day. Why is that? Well, of course it’s because many people have the weekend off and come Monday morning they have to go back to work. The fun is over and reality is back. A living has to be made and Monday signifies that the weekend is over. Honestly just about every day of the week has some kind of feel to it. For followers of Christ, Sunday is a special day, because that’s the day we gather together for worship. We lay aside any other plans we otherwise might have made and we come to church, study God’s Word, fellowship with other believers, and take part in a time of worship. That entire process is probably the most under-rated character builders that we know. Coming together on the Lord’s Day to worship and exalt the name of Jesus is vital to the spiritual health of the believer. We need corporate worship much like flowers need rain. We need a time of worship like we need food for our bodies. Without it we can wither, and we can grow spiritually weak. Remember the Lord’s Day. Come to the house of the Lord, worship Him, and keep the day a special and sacred.
