Sunday as it is traditionally named is a misnomer. The seventh day of the week in which God rested after creation would better be named Salvation Day. The fortunes of everything and everyone begin and end in salvation. Moses stared into the light atop the mountain and shared with us what he saw in the book of Genesis, the ultimate reality he describes to us as the Garden of Eden. In this place all of our needs are met without interference, it is, indeed, a place of ultimate safety. Is it any wonder that the Hebrew Old Testament translates the Hebrew words for salvation as safety?
This was the beginning of our history as humans, this history is worthy of regular celebration as we bring eternity’s safety into focus. You and I were born into a violent world where we become both victims and victimizers. However, each of us is ultimately bred for the safety of eternity.
