The circle of seven days has been introduced by the Almighty God in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible.
Our present Sunday, Monday, etc, were not named until the time of Jesus or in the first century.
For Jews, a particular day was very relevant as per their obedience to the law of their God.
It was our Saturday or the seventh day of the week (Sabbath) of the Bible.
We do not have a single occurrence of our present so called days or their names either in the N.T. or in the secular history of the first century.
Days were named later.
According to the N.T., we have indications of two different days
1. Seventh day of the week (Sabbath or Saturday) and
2. The first day of the week (Resurrection day, day of victory over death, or Sunday).
The Word of God is very clear that the Sabbath is the last day of the week and Sunday is the first day of the week (Mat.
28:1-2).
In the present scenario, Saturday is also known as Sabbath day, the last day of the week, and the day of rest.
Sunday is known as the Lord’s Day, Day of resurrection, the first day of the week, eighth day, day after Sabbath, etc,.
The Bible has occurrence of both the last day of the week and the first day of the week.
We have a great number of events related to the last day of the week in the O.T. when compared with N.T. in which the last day of the week is mentioned only in relation to the gathering at the Temple to worship God or at the Synagogue to study the word of God and sharing of the gospel.
Much more than that is quoted about the first day of the Week in the N.T.
There are many remarkable events that relate to the mysterious plans of God that occur in the first day of the week.
Let us point out certain significant truths about the first day of the week.
Please also remember that the seventh day or the Sabbath never transferred as Sunday or the first day of the week.
There are eight occurrences of the phrase “the first day of the week” in the N.T. [(KJV), (Matt.
28:1, Mark 16:1, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, John 20:19, 1Cor.

13: 33).
Dear brethren, please be informed that the day we gather together to sing songs, meditate, break the bread, take collections for the needy, and for the ministry of the Word is not unbiblical.
It is Biblical and historical.
It was a practice of the early apostles and remains as a pattern for us.
Though the events related to Sunday were scattered throughout the Scripture, we must understand that the first day of the week or Sunday has got many significances in connection with the New Testament Church.
It does not mean that we have to worship the day (Sunday), because today many worship the day forgetting its significance.
Let’s remember that: it is a day of resurrection, a day of victory over sin, Satan, death, etc.
How can we keep quiet when these facts appear in our spiritual eyes?
Don’t you think that it is a great privilege to meditate upon the same day of OUR MASTER’S RESURRECTION?
Do you think that you will go out of the assembly without worshiping Him once you meditate deeply on a Sunday remembering its significance?
Let our Sunday gathering and worship be meaningful after realizing the significance of the day.
