Bible Question: what day is the sabbath day really on? Saturday or Sunday? Where can I find the date mentioned in the bible? |
Bible Answer: Love007 Good question! We know from Genesis 2:3 on the seventh day God rested and sanctified the day so I think everyone will agree the seventh day is the Sabbath. Now which day is the seventh day of the week? Saturday or Sunday? For that answer we have to use some reasoning. Easter is celebrated by tradition on the Sunday. And Matt 28:1 tells us that Jesus rose on the first day of the week so Sunday must be the first day of the week making the seventh Saturday. Now the next question you will ask is why doesn’t the Christian church keep the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday? First in the Christian church Sunday is not the Sabbath but rather of day of fellowship and rejoicing the resurrection of our savior. The reason we do not keep the Saturday Sabbath is because Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and by honoring Him on His day Sunday we also honor the Sabbath. Besides Paul told us in many places not to get hung up on the day, more important is the our heart than which day we worship. Hope this helps EdB |
