Bible Question: Which day is the sabbath day that christians are to observe today? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Here's a great post from EdB for you to consider: 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 Mommapbs writes: As Christ-followers, Sunday, the first day of the week, is significant because it was on this day that Christ rose from the dead. Also, it was on the first day of the week that Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room, with a greeting that many fellowships extend to one another during corporate worship today: "Peace be with you" !
