Subject: what sabbath does it refer to? |
Bible Note: In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth the first thing He did was to create the daily cycle. (Genesis 1:5) "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Now as surely as nite follows day so we have the weekly cycle instituted in fact. Jesus said "...it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days". So, it is with us just as it was for Him. God gave the Sabbath to man as a day of rest; but, that doesn't mean that we are to take advantage of it and not help people who are in need. Likewise, the Sabbath was set aside for us to remember who it is that created and sanctifies us; therefore, we are not to engage in so many activities that we forget who our Creator and Savior is. It is a day of worship. |
