Why Do Christians Worship on Sunday? Resurrection, the Lord’s Day, and Sabbath Rest

Why do Christians worship on Sunday? In this Sunday school lesson, we examine why the first day of the week became central for the New Covenant people of God. Jesus rose on the first day, the early church gathered on that day, and Scripture shows that the Sabbath was a shadow fulfilled in Christ. This teaching looks at the resurrection accounts, the Lord's Day, the early church's worship pattern, and the true and greater Sabbath rest believers have in Jesus. If we want to understand why Christians gather on Sunday, we must understand the resurrection, the New Covenant, and the rest Christ provides.
