An Easter Message: Sunday Worship Defended

By -
We would like to greet everyone a happy Easter and it's time to sing "He Lives" and "Victory in Jesus". The resurrection of Christ was no myth- it is a reality that He indeed is risen and His death, burial and resurrection are ALL REAL!  Please not that the idea of good Friday as well is NOT a Roman Catholic invention but rather that He, Jesus, really died on a Friday Roman time (Thursday on Jewish time) and that He rose on a Sunday so it's time to really defend why Christians worship on a Sunday according to the solar calendar in contrast to the Jewish who do it on a Saturday.  

As said because Jesus rose on a Sunday, that had effectively ENDED the Saturday law ONCE AND FOR ALL.  Here are the events that first prove that Jesus Himself (and NOT the Vatican) instituted the Sunday ordinance as the day of worship:

  • Remember, Jesus rose again on a SUNDAY morning.
  • Jesus met with His disciples EVERY SUNDAY in Matthew 28:8-10, Mark 16:9-12 and Luke 24:36.
  • In John 20:19, Jesus gave the pastoral commission of the Church to his apostles on SUNDAY.
  • The Gospel of the resurrection was preached on a Sunday in Luke 24:34.
  • Acts 2 takes place on a SUNDAY.  Peter's first sermon and first day of work as the new PASTOR in Jerusalem was done on a Sunday.  Peter led the first SUNDAY SERVICE ever done.  It was 50 days after Passover so it would hit on a SUNDAY.
  • The Apostle Paul in Acts 20:7 is seen on a SUNDAY service.
  • 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 commands Christians to be ready for their offerings on SUNDAY.

This in effect actually disproves the crazy heresy that Sunday worship is the mark of the Beast according to the legalistic and just another parody of Biblical Christianity known as the Seventh Day Adventist movement (that group has its problems and it's 100% best NOT to debate with them and to ignore them).  After all, Jesus Himself kept the Sabbath and FULFILLED it, He is the very Sabbath of every one that comes unto Him for salvation.  The argument done by the Sabbath keepers is nothing more than guilt by association in which they immediately discredit something as evil just because it was done by somebody evil, rather than checking out the Biblical standard.  Their attempt to discredit Sunday is none other than a guilt by association fallacy to which they associate an action to be immediately wrong just because somebody evil does it.

Plus this is NOT the sun god but the Sun of Righteousness, the Morning Star, the Lord Jesus Christ (Malachi 4:2, Revelation 2:28) thus the term Sunday or better yet SONDay.
