Here is something to think and pray upon.
When Christ was crucified, it was on Passover, just before the Day of Unleavened Bread, which was a separate Sabbath, than the seventh day.
Christ was arrested and found to be without spot or blemish. They tried to make up lies, but were unsuccessful. Even Pilot could find no wrong in HIM.
HE was then sentenced to death, beaten and bloodied, was marched out to the Crucifixion. HE was nail to the cross around 9 a.m., hung on the cross for 6 hours, and dead by 3 p.m. For 3 hours afterward, there was darkness upon the land. He was then taken from the cross and buried in the tomb.
Joh_19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Joh_19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
Joh_19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
That night would be the 1st day, the following night the second, and risen the third. Remember, Hebrew days are counted from sundown to sundown, not sun rise to sun rise.
The day he died would have been Wednesday, the day of preparation of the Passover.
The following day would be Passover (Thursday)
They would not have had time that night to prepare the spices and ointments, for the Passover Sabbath would have begun. All day Thursday was a Sabbath (Passover) so, they would have gathered the spices and prepared the ointments on Friday, and then rested the next day, being the 7th day Sabbath.
Luk_23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
HE would have actually risen on Sabbath, but Mary and the other disciples went to an empty tomb on Sunday. Because it was forbidden to enter a tomb on the Sabbath.
Luk_24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
So, what we read about as being the Lord's Day is Sabbath.
