It's Sunday but Monday is Coming

Whether the Sunday morning church service confronts us strongly, or soaks us in Jesus' love, or even if it is mostly a time of pleasant healing of our wounded spirits, it is still about Monday. "Monday" means the rest of the week. "Monday" means Kingdom building, that is "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done--on earth as it is in heaven." Sunday is getting us revived for Monday, and our lives of making the world a better place. Jesus' mission statement is those words from the beginning of The Lord's Prayer. His mission, and ours, is to bring the beauty, justice, healing, hopefulness, goodness, and love, heaven has perfectly, into this earthly domain. That is what we are here for, not to just wait for heaven. Sunday worship,rest and recreation is about God's intention for humanity that we are partners in creating. It is Sunday but Monday is coming!
