RE: SUNDAY REFLECTION: THE CHALICE, THE HOST, AND THE PEACE I FOUND TODAY.
Quick question for you....Where in the bible did Jesus teach us to celebrate His rest and resurrection on Sunday? Curious if you have a verse to show that?

Hi @jongolson, thanks for the sincere question and for reading my reflection.
You’re right — Jesus never explicitly said, “You must worship on Sunday.”
However, Scripture shows that Jesus rose on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1; John 20:1), appeared to His disciples that day (John 20:19), and the early Christians gathered on the first day to break bread (Acts 20:7). Paul also mentions the first day in 1 Corinthians 16:2, and John refers to “the Lord’s Day” (Rev. 1:10).
So for us Catholics, Sunday is about celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and victory over death. Jesus is also Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:27–28).
lol let's not make this a Sabbath and Sunday debate.
Appreciate the responses, this is in no means questioning your faith. Just having a friendly bible discussion about very popular teachings of man. Not a debate, just talking things out :)
If Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8)....What day is the Lord's Day? Being honest about the scripture...
If we are to obey God rather than man (Peter said that) what should we do?
Don't you think it's safer to follow Jesus's example?
