Read the Deuteronomy account of the decalogue (Ch. 5) and you will find that the sabbath commemorated the redemption of Israel by means of the Exodus. Now think forward to the new exodus motif in the Gospels and Acts and what do we find? Well we are to commemorate our redemption from sin by means of Christ's death, and the day we do this is the Lord's day which is the first day of the week.
