He is the lamb of God, and
Lord of the sabbath day.
He has commanded us:
Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:But
the day is the
sabbath of the
LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:8 - 11
(The 4th commandment)
The Sabbath is a perpetual institution
created by God
as a commemoration of His Creative & Redemptive Power.
The Lord's sabbath is observed from sundown Friday
to sundown Saturday.
Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.Ezekiel 20:10-12
The observance of the true sabbath is an acknowledgement
of His Power & Glory, which is the Creator's alone . . . .
The Great Physician
Luke 5:29-32
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
