The Sabbath on the seventh day has been fulfilled in the new covenant, yet the Lord’s Day has been set apart for continued observance of the Sabbath principle found in creation. The Lord’s Day is the first day of the week, and it is the day on which Christians have historically gathered—stretching all the way back to the Apostles—to worship the resurrected Christ. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey examines the positive evidence of the New Testament that the Lord’s Day is indeed special and of enduring relevance for Christians.
