However, this should not take away the fact that we celebrate these liturgical events not because God needs us to, but because in our humanity we need to. I'm sure each of you have family members that are important to you each and every day. But try not telling your wife, or your son Happy Birthday, or wishing them a happy anniversary. We look forward to these events every year and plan accordingly, however they are still precious everyday. When I spend the 40 days prior to Easter Sunday preparing myself with prayer and fasting, I am, in my humanity, getting ready to celebrate Easter Sunday as the amazing celebration that it is. Does God need this? Of course not. Is it an insult to our Lord? How could it be? Anything that causes you to think about the Lord more, deny yourself more, love others more, why not do it more? Every Sunday is a mini Easter (speaking in our humanity) but that doesn't change the fact that on one particular Sunday our Lord conquered the grave. You know the apostles celebrated that same day the following year and thus Easter was born. And the events leading up to Easter, Holy Thursday when our Lord gave us Holy Communion, Good Friday, when our Lord suffered for us, this week is indeed Holy. Why not celebrate that week with a little more reverence than other weeks? We are humans and we need it, God certainly doesn't need it. On the comment for Holy Communion, the Mass is celebrated everyday of the week and the Catholic Church has certainly never stopped celebrating and remembering our Lord's request. It's not just on Sundays, but everyday is resurrection day. It cost God his only son. - Steve Zee Thu, 06 May 2010 01:00:34 +0100 http://baptistmuse.com/blog/society-and-culture/521-resurrection-sunday-every-week#comment-962 Thank you for your comments. - rom623drh Mon, 13 Apr 2009 05:35:44 +0100 http://baptistmuse.com/blog/society-and-culture/521-resurrection-sunday-every-week#comment-961 Great article! Every Lord's day should be a celebration of salvation and a celebration of his conquering power over death. Can you just imagine the pain the disciples must have felt? They had just witnessed the death of the man who in their minds was going to deliver them from their slavery to the Romans. And then suddenly, He is Risen! He is risen indeed! Great post. Let's celebrate this every week! - Nicholas Z.
