Isaiah 58:6-14 If you turn
away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy
day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not
doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own
words, Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
The
Sabbath is a gift:
Ezekiel 20:12 Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to
be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
Jesus
and the Sabbath. His Sabbath routine was
to go to the temple, teach that Scripture has been fulfilled and He proclaimed
His authority.
Remember: Exodus
20:8-11 Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Sabbath
is a Covenant: Exodus 31:13-16 Surely My Sabbaths
you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your
generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. -- Therefore the
children of Israel
The Religious people of the day, criticized Jesus when He taught,
healed, delivered and visited friends on the Sabbath.
Think about this, (Sabbath Day)
How much is about redemption and saving power.
Numbers 15:32-36 A man gathered sticks on the Sabbath, and the
penalty was death. His sin was rebellion
and a heart of insurgence, “I will do as I want.”
Mark 2:27 And Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made
for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
The true Sabbath is for
willing worship, to be with Him not out of duty or rules. Make a proclamation of your Faith. You can’t separate it. It is a heart condition, not a tradition or
ritual of elegance, with a formal and beautiful ceremony that is void of life.
Romans: 14:5-6, without mentioning Sabbath, Paul
emphasizes being fully convinced of one's practice, whether esteeming one day
above another, or esteeming every day alike.
Each interpretative framework regards this passage as demonstrating that
ritual observance of others' Sabbaths is not required, but is optional
according to the conscience of each individual Christian.
It is Day to love God and Worship Him, and not a day of
contention and controversy.
Colossians 2:9-11 The rule is laid down that no one should pass judgment on
anyone else in regard to High Sabbaths, new moon, and Sabbath. Paul states that
these yet remain as a shadow of Messianic events that are still coming as of
his writing.
On
the Sabbath, Jesus Taught, healed and delivered. Jesus fulfilled the law and then He
rested. The Sabbath is a symbol of
Salvation where we find Spiritual rest.
It is a shadow of the Rest to come.

God knows how much we'll be needing rest so He created the Sabbath for us. :)
Great post here, Hazel.
I love the way you worded that..it is a shadow of the Rest to come. Oh, the sweet rest I find in Jesus is oh, so sweet! He is a continual Sabbath to me! :)
Spread for generations and thousands of years and much of the Word of God. Always makes me smile when I see that word of Sabbath. Thank you for sharing this.
