Jesus Christ Kept the Sabbath While He Was on Earth It might be claimed by those who believe that Sunday is now the correct day for “rest” that He only kept the Sabbath because it was His tradition, because He was a Jew, or because He had not been resurrected yet.
Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday (John 20:1)
Jesus rose from the grave proving he was God, conquering sin, satan and the grave, and sealing our salvation for eternity.
The principal reason for gathering together on Sundays and calling it the Lord's day was of course that Christ rose from the dead on that day, the first day of the week (cf. Jn 20:1). Likewise the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost took place on a Sunday.
New Testament Sunday: The First Day of the Week
Jesus gives us the best guideline when he says, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” When we factor in biblical concepts of rest and worship, we have a framework from which to form our Sunday routines. There is no one right answer.
Day 1: Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday
On the Sunday before His death, Jesus began his trip to Jerusalem, knowing that soon He would lay down his life for our sins.
The Lord's Day
Until His Resurrection, Jesus Christ and His disciples honored the seventh day as the Sabbath. After His Resurrection, Sunday was held sacred as the Lord's day in remembrance of His Resurrection on that day (see Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2).
Jesus came to earth to save humanity by dying on the cross on Good Friday and resurrecting on Easter Sunday. By enduring and defeating death sacrificially for people, He swung open the gates of heaven making a way for sins to be forgiven and usher Christians into the presence of God (Romans 5:8)."
We are called to do each of these day in and day out as Christian people. But we should worship especially on Sunday because on this day, we remember and celebrate what God has done in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Worship on Sunday is a symbol like the cross or the Apostles'Creed.
Although Christianity is an Abrahamic religion, most of its adherents do not follow these aspects of Mosaic law and do consume its meat. However, Seventh-day Adventists consider pork unclean according to biblical law, along with other foods forbidden by Jewish law.
Sunday was another work day in the Roman Empire. On March 7, 321, however, Roman Emperor Constantine I issued a civil decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor, stating: All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable day of the sun.
It is the first day of the week in the Hebrew calendar and traditional Christian calendars, with the exception of European (workweek) calendars. It is observed by most Christians as the weekly memorial of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is said to have been raised from the dead early on the first day of the week.
The Ascension of Jesus (anglicized from the Vulgate Latin: ascensio Iesu, lit. 'ascent of Jesus') is the Christian belief, reflected in the major Christian creeds and confessional statements, that Jesus ascended to Heaven after his resurrection, where he was exalted as Lord and Christ, sitting at the right hand of God.
We should observe the seventh day of the week (Saturday), from even to even, as the Sabbath of the Lord our God. Evening is at sunset when day ends and another day begins. No other day has ever been sanctified as the day of rest. The Sabbath Day begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday.
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.
Is It a Sin to Worship on Sunday Instead of Saturday? Some argue that worshiping on Sunday rather than observing the traditional Sabbath is wrong. However, the New Testament makes it clear that what matters is not the specific day but the heart of worship. Believers are called to honor God every day.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished all the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day and he hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in Creation.”
It depends on who you ask. There are some Christians who believe it is a sin. The verse in the Bible that most Christians make reference to is Leviticus 19:28, which says,"You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord." So, why is this verse in the Bible?
Yes, as another has already said, there is no specific account of him eating meat. On the other hand, there is nothing that said he did not eat meat. We can imagine that it is likely that he ate several Passover meals when he was younger, and that includes lamb meat.
The Bible never gives detailed instructions about drinking. It does, however, give principles every Christian should consider. Bottom line: Scripture prohibits drunkenness, not drinking. If a Christian chooses to consume alcohol, they should do so with moderation and self-control.
The Sunday liturgy is mandatory, like showing up for work—and, just as skipping work can have serious consequences, so can skipping church. In fact, it is a mortal sin to miss Sunday Mass without good reason.
Since Sunday is the Lord's day, it was the day for meeting with Jesus in worship (Mark 16:9,12,14; Luke 24:13-35 compared with John 20:14-17 and 19-23; Luke 24:36-49 compared with John 20:26-29).
Various factors contributed to the choice of 25 December as Jesus's birthday, although theology professor Susan Roll wrote in 1995: "No liturgical historian ... goes so far as to deny that it has any sort of relation with the sun, the winter solstice and the popularity of solar worship in the later Roman Empire".
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, church built on the traditional site of Jesus' Crucifixion and burial. According to the Bible (John 19:41–42), his tomb was close to the place of the Crucifixion, and so the church was planned to enclose the site of both the cross and the tomb.
The Bible ascribes the characteristics of deity to Jesus Christ. He is described as eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and immutable. Jesus Christ is equal with God the Father. He is worshiped as God.
Though Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of Holy Week were filled with harrowing experiences that seemed to be drawing Him ever nearer to His death, on Wednesday Jesus stayed out of the public eye. On this day, Jesus and His disciples had gone to the home of a man in Bethany known as Simon the leper (Matthew 26:6).
