The Real Sabbath Fragrance

Friday. Mark 16:1-9.

Jesus rose on “the first day of the week.” We can never forget that. That alone would make it the first of all days for us. The women brought the fragrant spices, but they didn’t use them. A richer, subtler fragrance had already been breathed into the day. The early disciples never forgot the day nor its fragrance. And we later disciples will do well to remember weekly the sweet odor of that great first day.
