This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
The Lord's resurrection dawned a new day of His own making, the true Sabbath for all His people. When that soft light breaks on the first day of the week, we must sing with double joy: rejoice in heart and be glad in face, for we have seen eternal mercy blazed forth in our Redeemer's triumph.
AI summary
The gates of righteousness belong to those who conform to God's loving will alone. Israel beheld in the rebuilt Temple a reflection of what it had become through mercy, yet great mountains of difficulty stood before Zerubbabel until God made them plain and brought forth the capstone.

Commenting on Psalm 118:19-29
The Lord showed us light by sending the Messiah, making a Gospel day and turning us from darkness to the true light. We respond not with slain beasts but with ourselves as living sacrifices, our hearts bound together in fear of the Lord and fixed trust in Him.
