Consider carefully the following evidence that the redemption accomplished through Christ’s resurrection determined the day for Christian worship: 1. Jesus Christ arose on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1). He entered into his rest from labor, not on Saturday (the seventh day), but on Sunday (the first day of the week). As Jesus entered into his rest on the first day, so he encourages us to begin the week by resting in the confidence that He will provide for all our needs for seven days with only six days of labor. 2. Jesus Christ appeared to His assembled disciples on the first day of the week, as well as to Mary and to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (John 20:10; Luke 24:13). By these appearances on the first day of the week, the resurrected Lord set a pattern for meeting with His disciples. They began expecting to meet with Him on the day of his resurrection, which is the first day of the week. 3. Jesus appeared to the assembled disciples one week later on the first day of the week, with doubting Thomas present this time (John 20:26). Already a new pattern of assembly for worship was emerging. God’s new covenant people were making it a habit to assemble together on the first day of the week, the day of Christ’s resurrection. Jesus honored these assemblies by appearing to the disciples at this time, and encouraged their faith in Him as the resurrected Lord. 4. The resurrected Christ poured out his Spirit on the assembled disciples exactly fifty days after the Sabbath of the Jewish Passover, which was the first day of the week (Acts 2:1; cf. Lev. 23:15–16). The word Pentecost means 'fifty,' referring to the fifty days after the Sabbath of the Passover. Forty-nine days would span seven Jewish Sabbaths or Saturdays, and the fiftieth day would then fall on a Sunday, the first day of the week. So it would appear that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit came on the first day of the week, when God’s new covenant people were assembled for worship. So the pattern would be established more firmly. Both the resurrection of Christ and the outpouring of the Spirit occurred on the first day of the week. 5. As Paul spread the gospel of Christ among Jews and Gentiles throughout the world, the first day of the week was used as the time for Christians to assemble for worship. In Greece, Paul and Luke assembled with the people of God to break bread and to hear the preaching of God’s word on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). This was the day that the people of the new covenant assembled to hear God’s word. 6. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth to establish the pattern for their presenting of offerings for the service of the Lord. He ordered the Christians in Corinth to follow the pattern that had already been set with the churches in Galatia (1 Cor. 16:1). On the first day of every week they were to consecrate their offerings to the Lord (1 Cor. 16:2). This schedule for honoring the Lord had become the pattern for God’s people throughout the churches. The churches were not to present their offerings any time they wished. Rather, on the first day of each week, all the Corinthian Christians were to follow the pattern that had already been set among the Galatian churches. The first day of the week was the designated time for the presentation of offerings to the Lord.

2KINGS 6:1 A sinovi proroèki rekoše Jelisiju: Gle, mesto gde sedimo pred tobom tesno nam je.
2KINGS 6:2 Nego hajde da otidemo na Jordan, pa da uzmemo onde svaki po brvno i naèinimo onde mesto gde æemo boraviti. A on reèe: Idite.
2KINGS 6:3 A jedan reèe: Budi voljan, podji i ti sa slugama svojim. A on reèe: Hoæu.
2KINGS 6:4 I tako podje s njima. I došavši na Jordan sekoše drva.
2KINGS 6:5 A kad jedan od njih seèaše drvo, pade mu sekira u vodu; a on povika govoreæi: Avaj gospodaru, još je u naruè uzeta.
2KINGS 6:6 A èovek Božji reèe mu: Gde je pala? A kad mu pokaza mesto, on odseèe drvo i baci ga onamo, i uèini te sekira ispliva.
2KINGS 6:7 A on reèe: Uzmi je. I èovek pruži ruku, te je uze.
2KINGS 6:8 A kad car sirski vojevaše na Izrailja, veæaše sa slugama svojim, i reèe: Tu i tu neka stane vojska moja.
2KINGS 6:9 A èovek Božji posla k caru Izrailjevom i poruèi: Èuvaj se da ne ideš onuda, jer su onde Sirci u zasedi.
2KINGS 6:10 I car Izrailjev posla na ono mesto, za koje reèe èovek Božji i opomenu ga, te se èuvaše. I to ne bi jedanput ni dvaputa.
2KINGS 6:11 I smuti se srce caru sirskom zato, i sazvavši sluge svoje reèe im: Hoæete li mi kazati ko od naših dokazuje caru Izrailjevom?
2KINGS 6:12 A jedan od sluga njegovih reèe mu: Niko, care gospodaru moj; nego Jelisije prorok u Izrailju dokazuje caru Izrailjevom reèi koje govoriš u ložnici svojoj.
2KINGS 6:13 Tada reèe: Idite, vidite gde je, da pošaljem da ga uhvate. I javiše mu govoreæi: Eno ga u Dotanu.
2KINGS 6:14 I posla onamo konje i kola s velikom vojskom; i oni došavši noæu opkoliše grad.
2KINGS 6:15 A ujutru, sluga èoveka Božijeg ustavši izadje, a to vojska oko grada i konji i kola. I reèe mu sluga: Jaoh gospodaru, šta æemo sad?
2KINGS 6:16 A on mu reèe: Ne boj se, jer je više naših nego njihovih.
2KINGS 6:17 I pomoli se Jelisije govoreæi: Gospode, otvori mu oèi da vidi. I Gospod otvori oèi momku, te vide, a to gora puna konja i kola ognjenih oko Jelisija.
2KINGS 6:18 A kad podjoše Sirci k njemu, pomoli se Jelisije Gospodu i reèe: Oslepi ovaj narod. I oslepi ih po reèi Jelisijevoj.
2KINGS 6:19 Tada im reèe Jelisije: Nije ovo put, nije ovo grad; hodite za mnom i odvešæu vas èoveku kog tražite. I odvede ih u Samariju.
2KINGS 6:20 A kad dodjoše u Samariju, reèe Jelisije: Gospode, otvori im oèi da vide. I Gospod im otvori oèi, i videše, a to behu usred Samarije.
2KINGS 6:21 A car Izrailjev reèe Jelisiju kad ih ugleda: Hoæu li biti, hoæu li biti, oèe moj?
2KINGS 6:22 A on reèe: Nemoj biti; eda li æeš one pobiti koje zarobiš maèem svojim i lukom svojim? Iznesi im hleba i vode neka jedu i piju, pa onda neka idu gospodaru svom.
2KINGS 6:23 I ugotovi im gozbu veliku; te jedoše i piše; pa ih otpusti, a oni otidoše gospodaru svom; i otada ne dolaziše èete sirske u zemlju Izrailjevu.
2KINGS 6:24 A posle toga Ven-Adad, car sirski skupi svu vojsku svoju, i izadje i opkoli Samariju.
2KINGS 6:25 I nasta velika glad u Samariji, jer gle, beše opkoljena toliko da glava magareæa beše za osamdeset sikala srebra, a èetvrt kava golubinjeg kala za pet sikala srebra.
2KINGS 6:26 I kad car idjaše po zidovima, jedna žena povika k njemu govoreæi: Pomagaj, care gospodaru!
2KINGS 6:27 A on reèe: Gospod ti ne pomaže, kako æu ti ja pomoæi? S gumna li, ili iz kace?
2KINGS 6:28 Još joj reèe car: Šta ti je? A ona reèe: Ova žena reèe mi: Daj sina svog da ga pojedemo danas, a sutra æemo pojesti mog sina.
2KINGS 6:29 I skuvasmo sina mog i pojedosmo ga, a sutradan rekoh joj: Daj sina svog da ga pojedemo. Ali ona sakri svog sina.
2KINGS 6:30 A kad car èu reèi ženine, razdre haljine svoje; i kad idjaše po zidu, vide narod gde kostret beše ozdo na telu njegovom.
2KINGS 6:31 Tada reèe car: Tako da mi uèini Bog i tako da doda ako glava Jelisija sina Safatovog ostane danas na njemu.
2KINGS 6:32 A Jelisije sedjaše u svojoj kuæi, i starešine sedjahu kod njega. I posla car jednog od onih što stajahu pred njim; a dok još ne dodje poslani k njemu, on reèe starešinama: Vidite li gde onaj krvnièki sin posla da mi odseèe glavu? Gledajte kad dodje poslani, zakljuèajte vrata, i odbijte ga od vrata; eto, i bahat nogu gospodara njegovog za njim.
2KINGS 6:33 I dok još govoraše s njima, gle, poslani dodje k njemu, i reèe; gle, ovo je zlo od Gospoda; èemu æu se još nadati od Gospoda?
