Today is “Waiting For Sunday” day
Even though I’ve been neglecting my blog lately, I have to post today. This, after all, is “Waiting For Sunday” day.
As I’m sure you’ve read 
on my “More about me” page, I love Philip Yancey’s eloquent words about the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, the day that symbolizes our life between Ascension and Second Coming.
“…we live on Saturday, the day with no name. What the disciples experienced in small scale - three days, in grief over one man who had died on a cross - we now live through on cosmic scale. Human history grinds on, between promise and fulfillment. Can we trust that God can make something holy and beautiful and good out of a world that includes Bosnia and Rwanda and inner-city ghettos and jammed prisons in the richest nation on earth? It’s Saturday on planet earth; will Sunday ever come?” (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1995, p. 267)
This in-between day is when we need our faith. Salvation is here, redemption is beginning. And yet…
…we’re waiting for Sunday.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
