Bible Question: what was the origine of sunday worship? |
Bible Answer: Ndeipi, Jesus had authority over the Sabbath. Matthew 12:8. Jesus gave this authority to the Apostles and His Church, Matthew 10:40; 16:19; 18:18-20; Luke 10:16, including the sabbath, Colossians 2:16-22. Jesus rose on the first day of the week which came to be known in the Church as The Lord's day, on which they met for prayer and to break bread and give thanks. This became more and more an identifying mark of the Church as it was forced out of the synagogue and differentiated itself from the Synagogue and from the ritual system of Mosaic Law and also of Temple worship which ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
