Sunday - the First Day of the Week

Sunday is the first day of the week. It is the day we assemble for church. 

What happened in the Bible on Sunday, the first day of the week?

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. ... And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." - Genesis 1:3, 5 

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." - 2 Corinthians 4:6 

When God was manifest in flesh to die for the sins of the world, He brought mercy and came as the light.

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” – John 1:4

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." - John 8:12
