In this reflection, Jordyn Petersynth delves into the profound significance of Sunday as the Lord’s Day, drawing from the early Christian testimony of Justin Martyr and key biblical passages. Justin Martyr, a contemporary of St. John, explained that Sunday is the day for Christian worship because it commemorates both the creation of the world and Christ’s resurrection. Jordyn explores how this shift from the Jewish Sabbath to Sunday worship marks a new covenant and aligns with the cosmic and redemptive order established by Christ’s victory over death. This tradition is deeply rooted in Scripture, from the Gospels' emphasis on the resurrection occurring on Sunday to the early Church’s practice of gathering for the Eucharist on the first day of the week. Discover how Sunday worship represents a reordering of time, purpose, and our relationship with the divine—a weekly reminder of hope, renewal, and the new creation brought forth through Christ.
