Lord’s Day, The
Lord’s Day, The
This occurs only in Rev 1:10; John was in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day. It was the day of the week on which the Lord arose – the resurrection day, and thus emphatically marks the sabbath for the Christian. It is the first day of the week, and is suggestive of the beginning of a new order of things, altogether distinct from that connected with the legal Sabbath. It was the day on which the disciples commonly came together for the express purpose of breaking bread, Act 20:7; and though no legal enactment is given concerning it, it is a day specially regarded by Christians. It is literally ‘the dominical-day,’ , a word that occurs only in reference to ‘the Lord’s supper’ in 1Co 11:20 and to ‘the Lord’s day:’ the term is not to be confounded with ‘the day of the Lord.’

Lord’s Day, The
Lord’s Day, The. (Greek, Kuriake Hemera). Rev 1:10 (only). The weekly festival of our Lord’s resurrection, and identified with “the first day of the week”, or “Sunday”, of every age of the Church.
Scripture says very little concerning this day; but that little, seems to indicate that the divinely-inspired apostles, by their practice and by their precepts, marked the first day of the week as a day for meeting together to break bread, for communicating and receiving instruction, for laying up offerings in store for charitable purposes, for occupation in holy thought and prayer. See Sabbath.
