One beautifully written and performed song recalls the events surrounding Christ’s painful death and miraculous resurrection.
John 3:16 reads that God sent his one and only son into the world so that whoever believes in Him may not die but have everlasting life. Without such a move, the world and everyone in it would be lost and confined to a life of sin and shame.
However, as detailed in Phil Wickham’s song “Sunday is Coming,” God made a way, through the painful, horrible and undeserving death of his son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world. From beginning to end, the song captures the events, starting with Judas’ betrayal to His world-altering resurrection.
The song’s opening verses describe Christ and how He understood to remove the bondage of sin and shame, it would require the death of a perfect man. He knew He had to die and willingly gave Himself up for you, me and all humanity.
The third verse points out how He was betrayed by one of the twelve, faced mockery and carried His own cross to the spot of His eventual death on Calvary. He did this all the while, as the song points out, without uttering a word in His defense. He willingly accepted His terrible fate.
However, luckily, as the song’s chorus informs us, His death is not the end!
“Friday’s good cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope cause Sunday is coming
Devil, you’re done
You better start running”
The song ends with the singer informing listeners that Christ is no longer dead but has arisen and He reigns upon His throne!
We do not have to fear, because Sunday is coming. Christ lives, for He has risen!
Luke 24:5 “And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth in fear, these said to them, ‘Why are you looking for the living among the dead?’”
