Answered in 1 source

Christ's resurrection on the first day signifies the beginning of a new creation and rest in Him.

The significance of Christ rising on the first day of the week is profound, as it marks the start of the new creation and symbolizes that He is our true Sabbath. As stated in John 20, Jesus' resurrection on the Lord's Day aligns with God’s design to give His people new life and rest from the law. Colossians 3:1-4 explains that believers are raised with Christ, calling them to set their minds on things above. This new beginning reflects the fulfillment of the redemptive plan and allows believers to gather on Sundays, partaking in worship and celebrating the resurrection, marking it as a day of hope and joy.
