The CHRISTIAN SABBATH :
Sabbath is from a Hebrew word meaning rest. Goi
fihlshed His work of creation in 6 days and rested the
7th (Genesis 2:2). God commanded Israel, "Remembe
the sabbath day to keep it holy." Neitner Israel, their,:
ti servants, uiw .

end to the sabbath law when "I will cause the sun ta
go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the
clear day" (Amos 8:4-9). This prophesy was fulfilled
with Christ on the cross (Luke 23:44-45). .
Christ kept the sabbath because he was a Jew and
lived under the law. The apostles went into the. syna-.
gogues on the sabbath, after the cross, to preach Christ,"
and not to keep the sabbath (Acts 9:20, 13:14-37, 14:1-7,
17:1-4, 18:1-6, etc.). Paul met with Christians "upon
the first day of the week" to remember Christ's death:
(Acts 20-7, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)! ,-' . ,.: ..-;r ;
Christ fulfilled the 10 commandment law, given at
Mt. Sinai, "and nailed it to His cross" (Colossians
2:12-17, Galatlons 3). We are as free from that law
(including the sabbath) as a woman is from her dead
husband (Romans 7:l-7) , -
- God entered intoIis rest when His works were FIN
ISHED. We (Christians) shall enter into God's rest'
when WE have finished our God given works. "There
REMAINETH therefore a rest to the people of God
For he that is entered into his rest, he ALSO HATH
CEASED from his own works, as GOD did from His '
Let us LABOR therefore to enter into that rest
(Hebrews 4:9-11). The Christian sabbath (rest) is
eternal life, of which the sabbath of Israel was only a
type. ,-,
