It is not shown here which of the seven days of the week and it does not focus on this, but rather on the fact that one of seven should be for rest and dedicated to the Lord. Jews, who gave the world the week of seven days, keep the Sabbath as a day of rest. Christians rest and worship on Sunday,\u00a0celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<h2>Sabbath was a shadow<\/h2>\n<p>The Apostle Paul wrote to Christians from Colosse:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or <strong>a Sabbath day<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. (Colossians 2:16-17)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the Sabbath, or observance the day of rest was a shadow of\u00a0the\u00a0future things and not the actual appearance of things. In the Epistle to Hebrews it is said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.\u00a0So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.\u00a0For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.\u00a0Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.\u00a0(Hebrews 4:8-11)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Lord Jesus offers the\u00a0true rest<\/h2>\n<p>It seems that Lord Jesus\u00a0was doing certain things deliberately on the Sabbath day and this has aroused the discontent of those who respected the Sabbath without seeking to understand the true meaning that God put in observance of this day. The Savior said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and <strong>I will give you rest<\/strong>.\u00a0Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND<strong> REST FOR YOUR SOULS<\/strong>.\u00a0For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a confrontation with those who accused Him of making miracles and healing on the Sabbath, Lord Jesus said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.\u00a0So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27-28)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The day of rest is not to cause divergence<\/h2>\n<p>Because\u00a0Sabbath was a shadow of the true rest which was brought in Jesus Christ, we do not need to have discussions and disagreement between us, Christians, on this subject. The Apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his <strong>opinions<\/strong>.\u00a0One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.\u00a0The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.\u00a0Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.\u00a0One person regards <strong>one day above another, <\/strong>another<strong> regards every day alike.<\/strong> Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.\u00a0He who <strong>observes the day<\/strong>, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. (Romans 14:1-6)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Why Christians rest on Sunday?<\/h2>\n<p>Because Jesus rose on Sunday, as written in the four Gospels, first Christians used to meet to worship and to break bread on this\u00a0day. When he reports about the case with the resurrection of Eutyches, Luke writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p><span class=\"google-src-text\">On <strong>the first day of the week<\/strong>, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.<\/span> (Acts 20:7)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It should not\u00a0be an opportunity for discussion or controversy between Christians weather the Sabbath day is on Sunday or on Saturday. The Bible teaches us to accept each other in this regard without judging\u00a0or despising. On the other hand, it helps you nothing, no\u00a0matter what day you observe, or even if you observe both of them, unless you entered into the true rest of the Lord Jesus, and\u00a0your soul has found His rest. Come to Him with repentance to receive forgiveness and new birth and\u00a0find rest for your soul.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: God said that we have to rest on the seventh day.
