SABBATH – The seventh day of the week, originally a day of rest, for after creation “God rested on the seventh day” (Gen. 2:2). Since Christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week, Sunday, the Church gathers on this day instead of the seventh to worship God. Sunday is also called “the Lord’s Day” and “the eighth day,” because it transcends the Sabbath and is seen as being a part of heavenly time rather than earthly time. (Ex. 20:8-11; Acts 20:7.)
