SABBATH DAY, HOLY DAY
“He said to them ‘the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also the Lord of the Sabbath”
GOD’S WORD: MARK 2:27-28
Sabbath day is a rest day before the Lord. But in the New Testament, Sabbath is a Holy Day for the Lord. To Christian ,everyday is a Sabbath Day , for every given day is a Holy Day unto the Lord, not even ONE day pass
(Exodus 31:13-17).Many churches (The Seventh Day Adventist or True Jesus Church) erroneously practice Saturday as the day of worship (Sabbath) and thus condemned other Christian’s churches that worship God on Sunday or other day. They even accuse those who worship on Sunday follow paganism who worship the ‘day of the sun god: - Sun Day’. There is only One God Almighty that I worship every day. What if I say that those who worship on Saturday worship the god of Saturn which is also paganism?
Christ Jesus rose from the dead just after the Sabbath Jews calendar and therefore instituted is as “THE LORD’S DAY” .It was on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK after Sabbath(Mark 16:1-2),verse 9). It was Jesus’s Resurrection Day called ‘The Lord’s Day ‘(Revelation 1:10). From that day, disciples of Jesus gather together to worship God in prayer and breaking of the bread (Communion) on the Lord’s Day just after Sabbath which fall on Sunday. Acts 20: 7 “ Now on the first day of the week , when the disciples came together to break bread , Paul ready to depart the next day ,spoke to them and continued his message until midnight”. 1 Corinthians 16: 2 also says “On the first day of the week, let each one of you lay something aside...” Mark 16:9 clearly wrote “Now when He rose early on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK…”
“Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28)
