Change of sabbath day

I believe there is some degree of question (on my part) concerning the resurrection and the change of the day from the 7th to the 1st day of the week.

From my perspective, observance of His Sabbaths (notice the plural... which include some of His prescribed Holy Days, or Holy Convocations) are set times in which God expects His people to meet with Him. In essence, this is part of our worship of the living God.

If in fact the Sabbath was changed to Sunday strictly because of a Sunday morning resurrection, I'm not sure this is a legitimate reason for the change. From my perspective, there is either a serious conflict in scripture or there is a serious misconception of the resurrection on my part.

I'm no expert in the matter, but I can not find anywhere in the scripture where God has changed His Sabbath. Furthermore, I simply can not see a Friday execution and Sunday morning resurrection.... to me this appears to be a lie (and not the gospel of Jesus Christ).

I hate to bring this up; however, I am a little confused on the legality of the day itself. Why get hung-up on observance of the day by not doing certain things considered work when the day itself is no different from the rest of the week? Where has God abrogated His Sabbath (sundown to sundown on the 7th day). I do not mean to be contentious, but I would like an answer directly from the scripture.

Thanks.
