The First day

 

In 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. Matt. 28:1
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. Luke 24:1
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. John 20:1
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 1 Cor. 16:2


The first day of the week, on our modern calendar is Sunday.  It is very interesting that the bible, GOD's Word, identifies the first day of the week being the day after the sabbath or Saturday.  
The early first century church established Sunday worship to commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, the first day of the week. This blog writer has no problem with this and I encourage you to meet GOD at church with other believers on the first day of the week.
Call on the good LORD today, while He is near.  Ask, seek and knock and it shall be opened upon you. Today is the day of salvation, seek ye Him.
May God bless you friend,

face to face and saved by grace

  Good morning, all, Happy Wednesday,

The phrase "face to face" was brought to my attention today, this morning. Instant #1 on Dr. David Jeremiah Twitter post, He reminded everybody that "one day we'll see Him face-to-face"
I read that post and started getting ready for the day and the song, "we shall see Him face-to-face, and tell the story saved by grace"
So instant #2 God brought the song to my heart and mind. (PTL!!)
Then instant # 3 I'm reading The Epistle of John this week,
2 John 1:12
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Three times, GOD's number, so I know I need to share this with you all today.
For me, I am glad I will see Him face-to-face and truly I will tell story saved-by-grace!! (well praise the LOED anyway !!)
Don't know who it's for, perhaps for me, but I going to feast on the thought face-to-face and the story, SAVED BY GRACE!!
May GOD bless you all, Have a great Day!!
