There is an answer that Christians observe Sunday because it was the day when Jesus resurrected.
The question is: Did Jesus ever tell His disciples to do so?
Didn't He tell them that those who love Him should obey His commandments?

You are asking two questions instead of one. Both Judaism and Christianity believe that God took 6 days to create the world. In addition, both religions believe that God rested on the seventh day and commanded man/ woman to do the same. The word "Sabbath" is Hebrew for rest. Jews believe the seventh day is a Saturday and, therefore, Saturday is the day of rest. On the other hand, Christian believe the seventh day is a Sunday and, therefore, Sunday is the day of rest.
On to your second question. Only Christianity believes Jesus is God made flesh, the Savior. In Judaism, they do not share the same belief. In the Holy Bible, it is written that Jesus was executed (on a Friday) and, after three days, he was resurrected. Therefore, traditionally, Christians believe he was resurrected on a Sunday. Hence the churches celebrates on Sundays.

Maybe it's God's way of showing us we are all a little lost. The days of the week have never been touched that is to say there are 7 days and the seventh day is Saturday, today, and yes it is the Lord's day. Sunday is the 1st day of the week, many don't get that good for you. I believe the churches do that because almost everyone goes to church on Sundays, and I believe that Mary went on the 1st day of the week to tend to Jesus' grave only was greeted by an angel of God telling her that he had arisen already, he didn't state that he had risen that day. People assume alot of things one day we will know all things. We have to die first.

Saturday is the seventh day and the Sabbath.
Jesus rose on Sunday, not on the Sabbath which is why most protestant churchs hold service on Sunday.

Well the Sabbath is on the seventh day.
But Jesus ain't the one that was resurrected it was YAHSHUA MESSIAH.
The Church fathers teach Sunday worship because they are the deceiveds that all the prophets and apostles of the Messiah warned us was coming.

Saturday is the Sabbath, and Sunday is the Lords Day,"one man considers one day more sacred than another,another man considers everyday alike let each be convinced in his own mind"

Because Monday is the first day of work and Sunday would be the day after six days of work.
