Proper Worship – The Right Day

Creation Law

Re-Creation Law Confirmed
The Sabbath was commanded for all people of all ages. While it started on the Saturday, in preparation for a change of the Sabbath to Sunday, the 3 annual feasts which pictured the work of Jesus and the results of the works of Jesus were all celebrated on Sundays: The Feast of the Passover, the Feast of Pentecost, and the Feast of the Ingathering. The Lord was raised from the dead on Sunday, met with his disciples on Sundays after his resurrection, and the Apostles and early church met each Sunday for worship. The Bible and history confirm this. (And in a way, it is a return to the 1st day of the week – man’s first day of the week – which was the first Sabbath!)

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. We do have the right day. The Sabbath is not Saturday but Sunday. But having the right day for the Sabbath is not enough.

2. Love the Sabbath and reflect on Christ’s work in saving you on the cross and giving you new life. Reflect on the time when your salvation will be completed and you will rest forever in the presence of the Lord. Don’t see it as a restriction from getting things done. Learn God’s Word. Learn of your salvation and sanctification.

3. Love the Sabbath and make it the most productive day of the week. Work for God. Do good for your neighbor. Worship him. Bring others to worship him.
