WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SABBATH?
Search the Scriptures! Can you find one passage that says...
1. The Ten Commandments are abolished?
2. The Fourth Commandment is abolished?
3. The Sabbath was changed from the seventh to the first day of the week?
4. That either Jesus or the apostles kept the first day as the Sabbath?
5. That either Jesus or the apostles taught new believers to keep the first day of the week as the Sabbath of God?
6. That it was customary for the early church to observe the first day of the week?
7. That we are to keep the first day in honor of the resurrection of our Savior?
8. That the first day of the week was sanctified and hallowed as a day of rest?
9. That the first day of the week is called a holy day or given any sacred title?
Can you find one verse...
10. Where the first day of the week is called
the Lord’s Day?
11. Where we are told not to work on the first
day of the week?
12. Where any punishment is threatened
for working on the first day?
13. Where any blessings are promised for
observing the first day?
14. That says the Father or the Son rested on the first day of the week?
15. That says the seventh day is not now God’s Sabbath day?
16. That calls the seventh day the “Jewish Sabbath” or that calls the first day the “Christian Sabbath”?
17. That authorizes anyone to set aside God’s Sabbath and observe any other day?
On the other hand, the Bible clearly proclaims that...
1. The seventh day, made holy by God at Creation, is the Sabbath for all mankind (Gen. 2:2-3; Ex. 20:11; Mark 2:27).
2. Observance of the Sabbath was commanded in the Ten Commandments by the voice of God Himself (Ex. 20:8-10; Deut. 5:12-15).
3. Jesus affirmed that the Sabbath was made for mankind and that He was Lord of it (Mark 2:27-28).
4. The apostles consistently observed the
seventh-day Sabbath and upheld the Ten
Commandments as expressing the will of
God for His children (Acts 13:14-15, 44;
16:13; 17:2; 18:4. 11; Rom. 2:13, 21-22;
7:7-12, 22: James 2:8-12).
5. Throughout the centuries, dedicated followers of Jesus, redeemed by His precious blood, have shown their love for Him by observing the day made holy by God at Creation.
How about you?
Do you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord? He said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Will you show your love for Him by observing the day He made holy?

| ~~~~VERSE OF THE DAY~~~~ ********************************** THE WORDS OF CHRIST SPOKEN TO NICODEMUS IN John 3:13-21.... "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." ********************************** JESUS IS OUR ULTIMATE EXAMPLE... working not for selfish gain, but for heaven's glory; putting not one's own desires first, but the needs of others; profiting not from money, but from God's blessing. "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Jesus said to him, "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE; no one comes to the FATHER except through ME". John 14:6 |
