Why Do Christians Worship on a Sunday?

What makes Sunday the day of Christian Worship?  Do I have to Go to Church on Sunday! Sunday is the only day I have to do what I am doing.  These are some of the comments that you may hear when it comes to talking about church on Sunday.  Well the first thing to say is that Christian worship is an everyday thing which is not limited by days.  However, Sunday is significant and here is why:

1. Sunday is significant for Christians because it marked the Birthday of the modern church.  The church was born on the first day of the week.
2. Sunday is significant because whenever the resurrection of Christ from the dead is mentioned , it is mentioned as taking place on the first day of the week St.John 20:19,
3. Sunday is significant because following the resurrection Jesus breathed on his disciples and said “receive the Holy Ghost”. John 20:22
4. Sunday is significant because it was the day that Mary Visited the tomb of Christ to find that he was not there but had risen from the dead. John 20:11-18
