I have grown up to belive that Sunday is the sabbath day ,now some are saying that Saturday is the sabbath day ,can you show me in the bible where it states the named day of the sabbath by God.
I do not believe the bible specifically states Saturday is the Sabbath. But I have also not seen mention of the other specific days of the week (ie. Wed, Thurs. etc.).
The Jewish people have always observed the Sabbath as Saturday. Jesus was a Jew and he observed Saturday/Sabbath as well.
Most everyone in the world will agree that Sunday is the 1st day of the week. Check all of the dictionary's and they will state that Saturday is the last day of the week.
So the last day, or 7th day of the week is Saturday and has been for centuries.
Here in scripture below reference to Jesus preparation for burial prior to Saturday/Sabbath.
Mark 15:42
"And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"
Exodus 20:11
"For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
Luke 4:16
"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
So God rested on the 7th day, and he gave a gift to us, the 4th Commandment, to also rest our body and mind from our normal weekday working activities, among other things to pray, give thanks and reflect on God. A day to breath! It really is a wonderful gift!
C, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
Man cannot see himself being something other than what he is now in this flesh.
Flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the next world. We have to be RE-CREATED to inherit the SPIRIT world.
There is no works that we can do to accomplish this.
The WORKS OF CHRIST will bring this about.
John 6:63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you the are SPIRIT, and they (the words that are SPIRIT) GIVE LIFE.
The flesh lives in a world of time, the SPIRIT lives in a world where time does not exist.
In the Old Covenant man was given laws,
One being to observe the seventh day as a day of rest; Physical SABBATH.
When the SPIRIT comes to you and HIS WORDS BECOME words of SPIRIT (life); time is no more:
The SABBATH became SPIRIT and we REST in SPIRIT; or we rest IN CHRIST.
We have ceased from OUR WORKS as he ceased from his works.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law was a shadow (not the real thing) of things to come...
Hebrews 4:10 For he that hath entered into HIS REST, he also hath ceased from his works, as God did from his.
You ARE BEING CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS; it's a GIFT be still and BEHOLD the SALVATION OF GOD.
Thank You
