Text; John 20;1-9

1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 3 Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. 4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.

What is the first day of the week?Matthew 28:1 NASV1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began

to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave

Sunday

Why Jesus was raised on the first day of the week (Sunday)?

We will know the deepest reason, by looking back on the history of the human life?

Genesis 2;20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Both man and God 

was working (6 Day)

Genesis 2; 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

Genesis 3; 8 And they heard the voice of The Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. God was walking, 

part of his rest (7th Day)

Observation from the above text

I; on the Sabbath day Adam and Eve was fall into temptation.

II; the Holiness or purity of the Sabbath day was ruined by dis-obedience and sin.

Recreation is needed to restore the purity (holiness) of the Sabbath Day.

Jesus was risen on the first day of the week to restore the Sabbath day through recreation, not ruined by disobedience nor Adamic sin but of pure Joy and Hope that we are serving the true and Living God.

What are the lessons we can get from the disciples reaction?

Mary pass the information to the other Disciples- this signifies to us that we must tell the rest of the disciples the correct information about the resurrection of Christ (observe what Mary said to the disciples?)

The Disciples run toward the tomb- they exert an effort to go where Jesus was Resurrected, we should do they same.

The stone that was on the gate of the tomb rolled away.

These speaks to usA; The power of God prevail through the

resurrection of ChristB; We have now an open access before

God, the gap was taken away.C; We must trust the living God that He

will take away the hindrances of our service before Him.
