Bible Question: who change the sabbath.Ex.20:8 |
Bible Answer: Oliver This subject has been debated many times and you can do a search in the box to the right using the keyword Sabbath and see results. However I would like to present a completely different thought to the discussion. The Sabbath as established under the Law Ex 20:9 as a day of rest. Jesus came as the Rest Giver and The Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2:28 We also know Jesus came to fulfill the Law Math 5:17. And that we are no longer under the Law Gal 5:18 What I have learned studying ancient church history. Sunday to the early church was never a replacement for the Sabbath. Sunday was not a day of rest but rather a day of celebration and getting together to worship and rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord. Jewish Christians kept both days the Sabbath and Sunday. Early Gentiles knew nothing of the Sabbath Acts 15:29 and therefore only observed Sunday. Eventually all Christians began just observing Sunday. Then much later in church history Sunday began to be called Sabbath or Day of Rest. So in fact Sunday was never intended to be a replacement for Saturday Sabbath but a completely different day set aside for a completely different reason. The interesting part is how Sunday got looked at as a Sabbath. Somehow the real meaning of Sunday was lost and man began applying Sabbath rules to Sunday worship. Writers assume that men not knowing church history and the exact reason for Sunday worship now called Sabbath began studying scripture on the Sabbath merged the two. The result is it appears we are observing Sabbath on Sunday when in fact we are celebrating the resurrection on Sunday. EdB |
