Mark 16:2 “Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.”
Notice how specific this is. The sun had risen. The picture here is easy to miss, but don’t miss it. Hebrew time starts the day at sunset for a very important reason. It follows the order of creation. In Genesis chapter one we see the evening and the morning, in that order. Why? Because the darkness precedes the dawn. Every morning is a promise, a promise that the darkness shall pass. And this particular morning was a special promise. And every Sunday we celebrate this promise. And every morning when we wake up we can be reminded of this promise. Jesus is the One Who overcomes the darkness forever.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise of light every day! We are daily reminded that light is here to stay, and that the darkness is fading. Give us Your mercy in the day time. May we proclaim the kingdom of light for our whole lives. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
