Most everyone has an opinion about the Sabbath. Some
people associate it with Saturday, others a day of rest. It was God
that set forth the idea that man should work six days and rest on
the seventh and the Sabbath was important enough that He included it
among the Ten Commandments. The only problem is that we don’t know
the original days dating back to the Garden of Eden since there have
been many calendars over the years. Nevertheless, the concept
remains the same even if we don’t know the exact day for the
original Sabbath. Work six days and rest on the seventh. God has not
specified a particular day of the week and this standard works for
everyone regardless of the calendar they follow. The Sabbath is
supposed to be a day of rest, worship, fellowship with believers and
a time to reach out to the lost. It is not a day to conduct
business, work around the house or go shopping since all these
things can be done throughout the week. God never intended for us to
argue over a specific day of the week; instead, He wants us united
in love and respecting one another regardless of the day you
observe. There is no limit with God as you learn and grow. How far
will you choose to go? |
