Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0984A recorded on March 31, 1985 teaching from Psalm 118 – The Day of Christ’s Sacrifice.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens preaches from Psalm 118, focusing on verse 24 (“This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it”). He argues that this verse refers specifically to the day of Jesus’ crucifixion, not to any arbitrary joyful occasion, emphasizing that the early church’s sole celebration was remembering Christ’s death “until He come.” Pastor Stevens contrasts the true meaning of this “day of days” with modern misinterpretations, highlighting the suffering and rejection of Jesus as a source of ultimate joy and salvation. He concludes with a call for personal commitment to Christ, urging listeners to examine their own faith and devotion in light of the significance of this pivotal event.
