Show me why Sunday is the Day

I was around 9 years old before I had been in a church which was on Sunday. For 55+ years since I attended Sunday (first day) churches. That was also our the rest day for my family.A few years ago my wife and I decided to visit a Saturday (7th day) Baptist church. We liked it and have attended that church since. I have, for a long time, had some concerns about Sabbath keeping as to whether it was important or not. I have come to believe that it is the best day to keep, though God seemed to honor my commitment to Sunday worship keeping and though most of the evangelization around the world has been done by Sunday worshippers.Jesus, in the Olivet Discourse prophecy in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and I believe Luke 21, when prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem including the temple admonished the Christians to pray that the day come not on the Sabbath day. He was inferring that the Sabbath would still be in effect a number of decades after Penticost when the Christian era officially began. Jesus and the apostles also usually went to the temple on the Sabbath to minister.The Genesis record says God rested on the 7th day. That's not Sunday but Saturday. If there were not a Sat church that I liked in my area or a Sunday one I liked much better, I'd go back to attending Sunday church but would retain Saturday (7th) as my rest day.Having said the above, I judge nobody for whatever day they keep or whether or not they keep one. The apostle Paul said we should not judge anyone as to what they eat or drink or concerning the Sabbath day. He went on to say that one keeps one day and the other another and that if you keep it, you keep it unto God and if you keep it not, you keep it not unto God. He also said some regard one day and others regard all days alike. See Romans 14

1. Animal sacrifices and the 7th day rest was in Genesis before Abraham and Jews, though not spelled out in detail as they were later under Levitical law.2. One reason for the sabbath as per scripture is that God rested on that day. Sabbath means "rest."

Even Jesus didn't keep the letter of the law but the intent of it. Why? Because he was to usher in a new dispensation where the Holy Spirit essentially replaced the letter of the law. At Penticost the Holy Spirit entered into Christians giving them a new spiritual birth, i.e born again so the Holy Spirit now directs Christians as to how to apply the Sabbath on any given Sabbath day. That's why Paul said the things he said regarding it.Thus I do not consider myself condemned for not keeping the letter of the Jewish law.Paul also said something like "man is not for the sabbath, but the sabbath for man." In other words, it's healthy and good to forget business and work just to relax, do church, et al. Man needs the Sabbath rest.To the office worker who's at a desk 5 or six days, likely going fishing would be good sabbath rest whereas to a laborer, a more restful day would be better. Jesus and the apostles appeared to do church/temple on Sabbath.
