"The author and preacher Tony Campolo delivers a stirring sermon adapted from an elderly black pastor at his church pin Philadelphia. "It's Friday, but Sunday's Comin" is the title of the sermon, and once you know the title, you know the whole sermon. In a cadence that increases in tempo and in volume, Campolo contrasts how the world looked on Friday - when the forces of evil won over the forces of good, when every friend and disciple fled in fear, when the Son of God died on a cross - with how it looked on Easter Sunday. The disciples who lived through both days, Friday and Sunday, never doubted God again. They had learned that when God seems most absent he may be closest of all, when God looks most powerless he may be more powerful, when GOd looks most dead he may be coming back to life. They had learned never to count God out.
Campolo skipped one day in his sermon, though. The other two days have earned names on the church calendar: Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Yet in a real sense we live on Saturday, the day with no name. What the disciples experienced in small scale - three days, in grief over one man who had died on a cross - we now live through on cosmic scale. Human history grinds on, between the time of promise and fulfillment. Can we trust that God can make something holy and beautiful and good out of a world that includes Bosnia and Rwanda, and inner city ghettoes and jammed prisons in the richest nations on earth? It's Saturday planet earth; will Sunday ever come? "
