             #IV:  REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY!

Old Testament:

1. Observed on Saturday, the seventh day of the week, because God rested on the seventh day after creation.
2. Genesis 2:2,3:  Was the Sabbath given and ordered by God before the commandments were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai?  YES! Sanctified:  The act of making a thing pure and holy.—King James Dictionary
3. Exodus 35:1-3: If one worked on the Sabbath what was the punishment? Death
4. Isaiah 1:11-13:  Isaiah outlined for us what God detests:  a) meaningless sacrifices; b) empty obedience to religious festivals; c) new moon celebrations
5. Leviticus 23  Can you name the seven holidays that God instituted as sacred assemblies and special Sabbath days?  (Handout) Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles
6. Leviticus 25:8-33: God designated every 50 years to be a Sabbath year! A Year of Jubilee.  The land would not be tilled, slaves were freed, alienated property restored!

Jesus:

1. Luke 13:15,16:  Jesus healed people on the Sabbath.  Was that wrong for Him to work on the day God designated for rest?
   1. Synagogue rulers told the people to come back and be healed on any day but the Sabbath.
   2. Jesus rebuked him and the people that it is acceptable to have mercy on someone on the Sabbath.
   3. 2.    Mark 2:27,28:  Can one do good on the Sabbath or should he/she rest?  What does Verse 28 mean?   Verse 27. The Sabbath was made for man – And therefore must give way to man’s necessity; Verse 28. Moreover the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath – Being the supreme Lawgiver, he has power to dispense with His own laws; and with this in particular—Wesley’s Commentary
   4. 3.    Romans 14:5,6:  There is some freedom in the special days!
   5. 4.    Galatians 6:14-16:  Jesus rose on Sunday, the first day of the week. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, He instituted a new creation.
   6. Galatians 4:9,10:  Stop being bound by law and traditions to observe specific days!  The Sabbath or the Celebration of the Resurrection (Sunday) is to be a holy day, to rest, refocus, and praise God through Christ.

 

A REMINDER:  GOD OWNS ALL MY DAYS OF THE WEEK, ALL 7!
