Bible Question:
This has been an issue with me for a long time regarding the sabbath. I need to know if there is a reason that it is in the ten commandments since it is no longer necessary to be observed. |
Bible Answer: Hello, To answer this, Turn to Mark 2:27-28. This pretty much spells it out. The Sabbath was made for man. It was given as a time of rest. Jesus, as lord of the Sabbath, was able to do as he wished. As a result of our salvation, our observance of the Sabbath is altered from a strict observance to choosing a time better suited where we can spend time in worship with God. That day, was changed from Saturday, the day the Lord Rested, to Sunday, the day the Lord rose from the grave. However, the point is still clear, as it is in the Ten Commandments, a day is to be set aside in order that we may have fellowship with God and other Christians. Jesusman |
