It's Sunday!
Psalm 16 was authored by King David. It's both personal and prophetic, written 1,000 years before Christ. Peter and Paul each quoted Psalm 16 in very powerful sermons and both apostles attributed it to Jesus' victory over the grave. No other OT Scripture glances forward to Jesus rising from the dead like this one and since it points us to Jesus' resurrection, it also steels our hearts towards our own sure and certain hope of resurrection unto eternal life. That dark and bloody Friday which saw our Lord crucified for our sins became Good Friday because of the Awesome Sunday that followed. Sunday is here! He is risen! He is risen indeed! “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!”
