Jesus is our example, HE obeyed the sabbath. its the only day GOD sanctified and made HOLY. |
Bible Answer: Dear huckle7berry, Nobody said anything (that I am aware of) about *abolishing* the Law. This is alarmism and extremism, my friend. Don't degrade yourself or your brethren with such a ridiculous *if-then* statement. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, Luke 6:5), indicating that the Spirit-led, fruit-of-the-Spirit-bearing walk in Christ supercedes the legalistic, Pharisaical observance of the letter of the Law. (Which nobody could do anyway!) Jesus healed on the Sabbath, and allowed, even encouraged His disciples to 'work' on the Sabbath. Unless you can come up with a better 'observance' of the Law than the Pharisees (which is impossible) all such methods are simply Pharisaical. "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor." Gal 3:24,25 NASB. The 'tutor' has not been abolished at all! We still need it, even today. But we are no longer under the 'thumb' of this teacher, but encouraged to take those lessons and apply it in the Holy Spirit, which the Jews could not do. The intent and heart of the Law is much more important than the letter. Truly, not one letter shall be done away with. But the academic adherence to the letter was never God's intention. Witness King David, who was allowed to live after so blatantly breaking the Law. You are mistaken about the 'only day' ideology. Jesus has come and made every day holy, indeed, He fulfilled the Psalm: "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 NASB. Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
