Eventually, the Pharisees created a legalistic, burdensome Sabbath practice, as well as Christ rebuked them proverb the Sabbath was made for man’s residuum as well as produce goodness (Mark 2:27).

The Sabbath Commandment is the solely ascendancy non restated inwards the New Testament. Some believe it’s omitted because every twenty-four hours is a Sabbath to the Christian who no longer “works” for salvation exactly rests inwards the finished function of Christ (Hebrews 4).

Christians bring dissimilar views regarding this command,* exactly nosotros tin all concord on this:

• Although nosotros tin residuum inwards Christ's honey daily, nosotros besides bespeak a twenty-four hours each calendar week to residuum for physical as well as spiritual reasons.
• We all savor a celebration as well as that's what the Lord’s Day should be--a celebration of God's love, non a legalistic burden.

So let's produce our best to brand the Lord’s Day a joyful “party” instead of a religious duty.
