“Oh come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great king above all gods.” (Psalm 95:1-3)
When I was a child some of the singing in church reminded me of going to a funeral. It sounded so sad. There was sadness on the faces of the people.
A little boy asked his father, “Dad, is our old mule going to heaven?” With a chuckle his dad said, “Son, I doubt it. But, why did you ask?” The little fellow said, “Well, our old mule has a long face like some of the folks at church that are going to heaven.”
We Christians of all people have more to rejoice and sing about than anyone else. Our Savior is alive and well. He was crucified, died and was buried. But the grave could not hold Him. We attend church on Sunday to celebrate His resurrection and life. We are not at a funeral when we gather to worship. We are at a celebration of life that will never end. Let’s get together and praise the Lord.
