Sabbath |
| The physical Sabbath is an Old Testament day...the seventh day of the week. (Exodus 20:6-11) |
|
The Old
Testament law was taken away when Jesus established His kingdom. "By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." (Hebrews 8:13) |
|
Jesus was raised from the dead on the first day
of the week. (John 20:1) |
| Christians meet on the 1st day of the week to worship and remember the sacrifice of Jesus. (Acts 20:7) |
|
The 1st day
is not the Christian Sabbath. It is a good thing to rest one day a week, but there is no physical New Testament Sabbath. There is no harm in resting on Saturday, but we have no right to demand that others observe the Sabbath. |
