“The Sabbath, Is It More Than Just A Day?” Pt 2

1. Jesus gathered for public worship one day a week.

Luke 4:16 ESV

“And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up.

And as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the

Sabbath day, and He stood up to read.”

2. Jesus healed on the Sabbath.

Matthew 12:12 ESV

“So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.?”

3. Jesus proclaimed Himself as Lord of the Sabbath.

Matthew 12:6-8 ESV

“I tell you, something greater than the temple is here.

And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and

not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

4. Jesus taught the Sabbath was for our benefit.

Mark 2:27 ESV

“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath...”

Man made traditions have turned the Sabbath into a burden

not a blessing.

This day of rest was to be a time of refreshment not a day of

restriction, a delight, not a duty.

Mark 7:8 NASB

Neglecting the commandment of God,

you hold to the tradition of men.”

John 5:18 ESV

This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him,

because not only was he breaking the Sabbath,

but he was even calling God his own Father,

making himself equal with God.

Jesus drew a line between the traditions of man and the

Word of God.

Ampl

This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him,

for not only was He breaking the Sabbath [from their

viewpoint], but He was also calling God His own Father,

making Himself equal with God.

Acts 2:46 ESV

“And day by day, attending the temple together

and breaking bread in their homes...”

Galatians 4:9 ESV

“But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be

known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and

worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves

you want to be once more?”

Verse 10-11 ESV

“You observe days and months and seasons and years!

I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.”
