This ask me what is my view of the Sabbath rest and I
find it interesting very few individuals really understand what it really
means, Sabbath rest. I believe all here
in our little fellowship understand that Jesus was the Creator of all things,
the Spokesman in the Old Testament and the one who wrestle with Jacob and the
one who sat down to a meal with Abraham, etc.
We know that Jesus does not change and what He taught Moses, Abraham,
Adam, Paul and others would be the same as He teaches from His Word, the Scriptures.
We notice from Ex 31:17 that Jesus rested
on the seventh day and Jesus rested and was refreshed. Yes, he was refreshed. Notice, it was not on the first day of the
week or the fourth or fifth day, but the seventh day. Jesus from this verse shows the seventh day
was an agreement between Him and Israel concerning the seventh day. We know the seventh day was given in Gen at
the creation time. But, there is one
individual who observed the seventh day before the agreement with Israel. That was Abraham. Jesus talking with Isaac said He was going to
do this because
Abraham did what I told him to do. He
kept my instructions, commands, statutes, and laws. Abraham was not a Israelite or a Jewish
person, their seed came from him in the 2nd and 3rd
generation. Jesus just told us that Abraham observed the seventh day and he was
blessed because Abraham kept the instructions, commands, statutes, and laws of Jesus. We know that in the future that the Millennium
Temple will only be open on the Sabbath Day and Festivals. So today, we say we
are in the Sabbath rest and can worship as a fellowship on the first day of the
week and not have to worry about the seventh day until the Millennium. This is telling me that Jesus is the same
yesterday and tomorrow, but not today.
It does not make sense to me that we do not have to observe the seventh
day today. This is my perception and
opinion on the Sabbath rest. Yes, we are
in Jesus hands and protected.
