Who Changed The Sabbath?

7. Why Worship On Sunday?

How did it come to be that the bulk of Christendom worships and observes the first day of the week as the Christian "Sabbath"? There are several things we need to recognize and substantiate with Scripture: The first day of the week, Sunday, is never referred to in the Bible as "the Sabbath Day." The assembling of believers in the Book of Acts was never on the seventh day, Saturday.

Jesus never recognized the Sabbath after His Resurrection.

We have no record, anywhere in the Bible, that Jesus ever met with his disciples, or any group, for worship on the Sabbath Day—after His Resurrection.

After the Resurrection, when Christ met with others and the day is specified, it is always the first day of the week, Sunday.

Christians are commanded to assemble themselves together for the purpose of: (1.) resting from their weekly jobs of physical labor, (2.) to fellowship, exhort, and care for one another, (3.) to partake of the Lord's Supper, (4.) to study and learn from the pastor and/or teacher of the local assemblies.
