23 Reasons why the first day of the week, Sunday is important to Christians, but is not the Christian Sabbath. Reasons for the significance of the first day of the week (Sunday) in the New Testament for Christians: 1. Jesus rose on the first day of the week not the Sabbath: Mk 16:9 2. All 6 appearances of Jesus after the ressurection happened on Sundays, none on the Sabbath. Mk 16:9; Mt 28:5-9; Lk 24:34; Lk 24:13-15; Lk 24:33,36 + Jn 20:19; Jn 20:26 3. Christians are recorded assembling three times on Sunday, after the resurrection and before ascension, never not even once on the Sabbath. Jn 20:19 Jn 20:26 Acts 2:1 (I do not claim that these were worship services, just the starting point of getting together on Sundays) 4. The only time Christians are recorded to have assembled together was on a Sunday in Acts 20:7, never does it say the disciples assembled exclusively as Christians on the Sabbath for worship. 5. The Christians broke bread also on Sunday: Acts 20:7 6. Christians are commanded EVERY Sunday to give into a common treasury of the church: 1 Cor 16:1-2 7. Jesus was declared the Son of God on Sunday: Rom 1:4 8. Ps 2:7 Today I have begotten thee was fulfilled on Sunday when he rose: Acts 13:33 9. The sign that Jesus was glorified was given on Sunday: Jn 7:39 + Acts 2:1,32 10. The church officially began on Pentecost Sunday: Acts 2:1 11. Jesus was crowned king on a Sunday: Acts 2:33-36 12. The disciples reception of the promise of the Father was on Sunday: Acts 1:4-5; 2:1-4 13. The Holy Spirit first fell upon the apostles on a Sunday: Acts 2:1-4 14. Salvation was first preached by Peter on Sunday: Mt 16:19; Acts 2:1,38,40-41 15. The Keys to the Kingdom of God were first used on Sunday: Mt 16:19 16. The great Triumphal entry (also called Palm Sunday) happened on the first day: Luke 13:32 17. The time between the Lords resurrection (sheaf waving day) and Pentecost was Sunday to Sunday counting of 50 days. The starting and stopping time was on the 1st day. 18. First time Jesus were worshipped after the resurrection was on sunday, the first day of the week by Thomas (Jn. 20:26). 19. The first time we could be born again to a living hope was on a Sunday: 1 Pet. 1:3 20. The first time Jesus had communion after his resurrection with His disciples, was on a Sunday: (Lk. 24:1, 13, 28-35) 21. Pentecost was a Sunday - Sunday duration of 50 days. The starting point and stopping point of counting the 50 days was a Sunday - Sunday period! 22. Jesus said we should find our rest in Him and we could do it from Sunday when He rose from the dead. Mat. 11:28 And Christians did it every day onwards from that Sunday till now. 23. THE NEW DAY OF THE LORD THAT WE SHOULD REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN, IN PS 118:22-25 CAME INTO BEING WHEN JESUS HAD RISEN FROM THE DEAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY!!! The old sabbathlaw were abolished Col.2
