What About Keeping the Sabbath
' Today? ;
. . It Isn't required. In fact, it is prohibited! ' !'.:
Saturday is the sabbath. The seventh day was hal
lowed early. God finished his creative work in six days
and rested on the seventh. "And God blessed the sev-
ntfl HnV anrf hallni.ra.4- U.ft-?,n-
. Dennis Moil
i Miniiter
upon Mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven,
and gavest them right ordinances and true laws, good
statutes and commandments, and madest known unto
them thy holy sabbath." (Neh. 9: 13, 14.) The people
of God did not "know" the sabbath until Sinai's de
crees were given. Only then, with high formality, the'
stipulation was made, "Remember the sabbath day to
keep it holy." (Ex. 20: 8.) Observe, too, that a "sabbath',
year". was enjoined. (Ex. 23: 10, 11.) Incidentally and in--formally,
the sabbath is first mentioned in connection
with the gathering of manna. (Ex. 16: 21-30.) ,.. ... )' .
Jewish prophets anticipated the passing away of
Motes' law and the cessation of Jewish festivities, in-'
eluding the sabbath. Amos rebuked greedy Jews who
asked, "When will the new moon be gone, that we may''
sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth
wheat?" (Amos 8: 4, 5.) . . . , , ,
The requirements of the sabbath (which made pick-'-ing
up sticks a sin, under pain of death) are not today
observed for the simple reason that the Jewish law has'
been abrogated. It has been nailed to the cross. (Cf. Col.!
2: 14.) Christain people honor and respect Christ's law
- not Moses' law. Christ's law makes no mention of the
sabbath. " ., , ... ...
Manifestly, Christains are under no obligation -to
honor Jewish ordinances. (Colossians 2: 14-19.) ......
