The first day of the week brings hope. It remembers the past and it bears witness to the future. It reminds us of the first day, the first of all first days of the week, when God conquered death; it reminds us of Easter Sunday. It also transports us into the future where, by faith, we see death's final overthrow. There, too, in the future we see Easter Sunday. Further, Easter Sunday is already here. It affirms the alreadiness of God's transforming power among his people.
