#60 - Lord of the Sabbath

The Sabbath is an ordinance God instituted at Creation. Instead of casting away this ordinance, Jesus further establishes it as He tears down the traditions of men which had heavily burdened the people of God. As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus calls the church (and all creation) to rest from their usual labors, worship the One True God and carry out works of mercy to the glory of God on the day He himself has appointed, the Christian Sabbath or the Lord's Day.
