A Red-Letter day is defined as a time of special significance or opportunity. May 17th, 1954, the day when the United States Supreme Court ruled that laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional is clearly a red-letter day.
However, 70 years later the promise of the red-letter day that Brown symbolizes has not been met.
According to a 2022 report from the Government Accountability Office, more than a third of all students in America about 18.5 million attended schools where 75% or more students were of a single race or ethnicity. 70 years after the red-letter day of the Brown decision we a still separate and in many cases not equal.
This Sunday Christians will celebrate The Day of Pancoast. On this Red-Letter Day the Disciples have gathered in Jerusalem 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus. Acts chapter two tells us that a sound like the roar of a mighty windstorm came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Filled with the Holy Spirit the disciples received the ability to speak and understand many languages.
Clearly the red-letter day promise of Brown V. Board have yet to be realized. However, the red-letter implications of The Day of Pancoast are in full effect. We have been given the Holy Spirit, which is the comforter, the courage maker, the unprecedented glue that binds us to God the Father and His son Jesus The Christ.
The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to create red-letter days for others as we heed the Great Commission command of Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
With the Holy Spirit as our guide let us go and create some red-letter days.
