The Sabbath: Part Two

NB: Someone made a very good point in saying that God's law was set forth from the beginning... God walked with earth's 1st parents, talked with them and explained His plan for their lives to them. The children learnt from their parents, as things were passed down from generation to generation. How else did Cain know he sinned when he killed Abel if he did not know the law? If we look back even before Mount Sinai we see man obeying and disobeying God- keeping and not keeping His law.

Part Two

  So why don't we keep the sabbath?

Here are two popular beliefs-

Well some say that ''it was done away with, it was nailed to the cross when Jesus died, to take away the oppression that the Jews imposed.'' Where in the bible does it say that after Jesus' resurrection that He changed the day to Sunday? or that Jesus kept the sabbath day on Sunday? Jesus even rested in the tomb on Saturday- the sabbath keeping with the commandments of His Father.

• Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

Others say that ''we go to church on Sunday because we are celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the dead.''
Where in the bible does it say that Jesus told His disciples to ''honour him'' by worshiping on the day he was resurrected? Jesus told His disciples to ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20) If Jesus said anything to His disciples that would ''distinguish'' them from others it would be this: By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35)

Confused? The Kings James bible puts it like this- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32) and the truth hurts...trust me BUT it will set you free.. take off your shackles of ignorance and come into the light. Jesus said- ''I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.'' (John 8:12) Child of darkness, step into the light. Don't be afraid, for HE has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2nd Timothy 1:7) Why conform? take a stand for God and he will stand up for you. Have faith. Trust HIM and prove this for yourself, don't put your faith in man for man will let you down.  Trust. God for He will never fail you....
