John UK"The child of God who appreciates the wonder of God in establishing and maintaining this covenant relationship, and who desires to enjoy covenant fellowship with God, will therefore want to observe the weekly Sabbath, will strive properly to keep it, and will long to enjoy the everlasting Sabbath in heaven. The rest that God gives His people on the Sabbath Day is the rest of the covenant. That the Sabbath is a day of rest is clear from three considerations. First, the word "sabbath" means "rest." Second, God called Israel's weekly Sabbath "the sabbath of rest" (Ex. 31:15, 35:2; Lev. 23:3; see also Ex. 16:23). Third, God's law prescribes that on the Sabbath Day we rest from our ordinary daily labor (Ex. 20:10; Deut. 5:14). Although God's law requires us to cease from our ordinary labors, the true nature of the Sabbath rest is not physical, to be enjoyed in the body, but spiritual, to be enjoyed in the soul. He who thinks of Sunday as merely a day of physical recreation, or a day on which to catch up on sleep, does not understand the true nature of the Sabbath rest. He who thinks that going to church twice is in itself the keeping of the Sabbath, and so ignores the opportunity that the Sabbath provides to grow in grace.... "(Rev D.Kuiper) |

Re:: The Lord's Day WCF XXI.7. As it is of the law of nature that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in his Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment, binding all men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him(a) which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week,(b) which in Scripture is called the Lord's day,(c) and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath.(d)a. Exod 20:8, 10-11; Isa 56:2, 4, 6-7.
• b. Gen 2:2-3; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:1-2.
• c. Rev 1:10.
• d. Exod 20:8, 10 with Mat 5:17-18. |

On Tuesday I was talking to a lady about her recent trip to Israel. Apparently, the Jews were still very strict about the Sabbath, and their understanding of Sabbath was from 3pm Friday till 3pm Saturday. Makes me wonder...
