EXODUS 30:11-31:18
MATTHEW 26:47-68
PSALM 32:1-11
PROVERBS 8:27-32
Question of the day: If the Sabbath day "is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel" and "anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death", then why don't we observe it today?
God established the Sabbath to force the Israelites to remember Him and his creation on a weekly basis. Through the Old Testament it served to allow people to dedicate a day to the Lord. When Jesus came, he didn't abolish the Sabbath, but he took it to the next level by healing on the Sabbath, by teaching on the Sabbath and by calling attention to the needs of others on the Sabbath. Our response should be to develop the mind of Christ, where we don't need the reminder, because we are always keeping God first and others before ourselves.
What are your questions?
