Sabbath Sabbath

Jesus often referred to the 7th day of the week. He called it the Sabbath. An example is found in

Luke 6:5 (KJV)
And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.

But, how does the Bible name the other weekdays? For example, the Bible does not mention the word Sunday. Instead, the Bible calls Sunday “the first day.”

Matthew 28:1 (KJV)
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Have you considered how God refers to the days of the week?
It’s in the Bible.
The Bible numbers the days of the week. Of the seven days, the Bible provides a non-numerical name for only one day of the week. That day is the Sabbath, which is the 7th day.

Genesis 1:5 (KJV)
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Deuteronomy 4:16, 19 (KJV)
16…ye corrupt yourselves…19And…lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them…

In modern times, most people ignore God’s naming convention and use pagan names. Instead of using the names God provided, people call the Sabbath Saturday, which honors the god Saturn. Even though pagan names like “Saturday” and “Sunday” are never used in the Bible, most people still use them. Why do we honor pagan fables by using pagan names for the days of the week? Shouldn’t we use the names God used? After all, God created the week and each day. As the song says, pagan names for God’s days should not persist.
