The Lord’s Day is the day John was in the Spirit, the first day the church gathered.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.
John says he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day. The phrase is used once. The church gathered on the first day of the week at Troas to break bread. Paul tells Corinth to put the collection aside on the first day. The day of resurrection is the first day. The Lord’s Day is that day in the church’s mouth, not a new Sabbath law written out in a chapter. Jesus rose on the first day. The gatherings follow that morning.
- Revelation 1:10 is the only use of the phrase.
- The first day is named for the breaking of bread and for the collection.
- Do not turn the phrase into a burden the apostles did not write. Do not ignore the day they met.
