Although I lost interest in the Super Bowl this year, one
must admit that Super Bowl Sunday always evokes much hype, interest, and
money. Many call this Super Sunday.
Can you really imagine the atmosphere surrounding that first
“Super Sunday” which I submit to be “Creation Sunday.” God said, “Let there be”—and there was! Genesis 1 goes on to reveal that on the 6th
day, “God created man.” Here is the best
news; God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE, blew into man the BREATH OF LIFE, and
MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. Mankind was different
from the animals God had created because man has a soul, a mind, and the
ability to commune with God.
God’s creation was so perfect that He announced it
“GOOD”. Yet, in mankind God gave the
ability to make a ‘decision.’ Adam and
Eve could either “follow God wisdom through obedience” or “follow their own
wisdom through disobedience.” Sadly,
they chose the latter by breaking the one rule God had given them. In so doing, they became afraid of God as a
disobedient child is afraid of their parents.
When God saw their sin, He killed animals created earlier that day
making clothes from the skin of those animals in order to cover their nakedness
(which symbolizes their sin).
The dye was cast. It
would take death and blood to cover sin.
Jesus came to earth for purpose of becoming that sacrificial
lamb for all sin. He lived a perfect
life and died the death of a sinner on the cross. Crucifixion day was a dark day for those who
loved Jesus. And had Jesus remained in
the grave, there would be no hope for mankind to have sin forgiven and
reconnect with their creator.
Three days after the crucifixion is the second SUPER
SUNDAY!! It is RESURRECTION DAY!! Death could not hold Him, the grave could not
keep Him from rising again, and in HIS resurrection is the promise that you and
I can find forgives, hope, help, and security.
Here’s a secret; ‘there is more historical evidence for the
resurrection of Christ than there are for most World Wars!!’ Because He lives, WE CAN LIVE! Now that is a Super Sunday worth knowing an d
talking about!
