Subject: Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath |
Bible Note: Greetings Nosnarc! I believe you are free in Christ do observe Sat. or Sun. as your Sabbath. The reason being, of course, is because Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8, Mark 2:28, Luke 6:5, John 7:23). I believe the Saturday Sabbath marked the Day God rested from the Creation, thus pointed to Christ, whereas Sunday Sabbath signifies Redemption which has been accomplished in Christ. Therefore, as He has become our Sabbath, and we rest in him (Heb. 4:8-11), we observe the day of Redemption (a Sunday marked the historical Resurrection) as our Sabbath. But this is all my opinion and I don't believe it's an issue to divide over, although there are cults out there that wish to do so to their own peril (Col. 2:16). Hope that helps! In Christ, Jibbs |
