Day Four - Mundane Monday
Mike Stone
Matthew 28:5-7
Today's lesson is the last of four sermons in a brief series of messages looking at the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We are examining four important days that are indeed "Four Days that Changed the World."
We have talked about Good Friday, Silent Saturday and Resurrection Sunday. Today, we will look at Mundane Monday. A simple message on how the power of the resurrected Lord can change any day and every day.

Lockridge preached, "That's My King" about the Lordship of Jesus. And his wonderful Easter message was simply called, "It's Friday but Sunday's Coming."
Contrasting the darkness of Crucifixion Day with the Glory of Resurrection Day, Lockridge kept saying, "It's Friday but Sunday's Coming."

They don't even know that Sunday's comin'.
It's Friday. The disciples are running like sheep without a shepherd.
Mary's crying, Peter is denying. But they don't know that Sunday's a comin'.
Brother Lockridge talked about the difference in the HORROR of Friday versus the GLORY of Sunday. But I want to talk more about the difference in the MIRACULOUS nature of Sunday and the MUNDANE nature of Monday and every other day of the week.
A couple of years ago, Dr. Thom Rainer released a little article on the internet entitled, "Five Reasons Mondays are so Tough for Pastors." The article chronicles the reasons why most pastors are ready to resign on Mondays. I can relate to most of them. But I am not alone in ...
