Sabbath Blessings!!!

A Christian will “follow His steps: ‘Who committed no sin’” (1 Peter 2:21-22). The Bible defines sin as lawlessness—breaking God’s laws (1 John 3:4). Jesus never broke the law, and He died to pay the penalty of our past sins so we can strive with His help to not break the law. Notice these quotes from Jesus and Paul:

• “Go and sin no more” (John 8:11).
• “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!” (Romans 6:1-2).

What did Jesus do? He kept the Sabbath. Observing the Sabbath was Jesus’ custom and practice (Luke 4:16, 31). It continued to be the custom and practice of the apostles and the New Testament Church (Acts 13:14, 42, 44; 14:1; 17:2, 10; 18:4).

Jesus never broke God’s law, even if the Pharisees accused Him and His disciples of breaking the Sabbath. His healings on the Sabbath were totally acceptable to God, though they might have gone against the extra human rules that Jewish tradition had added. Jesus corrected them and showed that “it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath” (Matthew 12:12).

Jesus should know. He was present at its creation and when it was thundered to Israel as part of the 10 Commandments, and thus He is “Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28).
He made the Sabbath holy.
