"This is the day which Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

The day which the Lord had appointed was the day when the stone rejected by the builders became the chief cornerstone. Who decides whether a stone is usable or not? It is the builders. lf the mason says that a certain stone is unfit to build the house, you do not need to ask anybody else. But a strange thing has happened. The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. God has put upon it the most important responsibility. This is indeed marvelous in our eyes.

The sequel, however, is an added marvel. It is the appointment of a special day, based on that divine choice of Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Let us, then, find out what day it was. We discover it in Acts 4:10. It is the day when he whom men rejected was raised from the dead. Let there be no confusion. The Bible puts it very clearly that this day which the Lord has made is the day of resurrection. So let all the children of God gather on this day in his Son’s name and be glad.
