Today as I read Luke 23:44-24:12, you will see tha answers that Sabbath is not on Sunday.
Jesus live and die in the Roman era. We are also using the Roman calander.
On the day Jesus die - which day is it? Easter is celebrated on Friday. Luke 23: 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Jesus die on Sabbath - Friday.
24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
What is the first day of the week? Sunday. No wonder the ladies recall what Jesus said, Luke 24: 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
So Friday the first day, Saturday the second, Sunday is the thrid.
So it confirmed that Sabbath is not on Sunday but on Friday. So how it the 'Sunday Sabbath Rest' comes about?
I am not against Sunday, but the truth has to be correct. The Roman Catholic Church when they made Christainity as the main religion, change it to Sunday - the first day of the week.
Regardless, let us not be too concern about the works of men. The intended purpose of Sabbath is for us - rest. By resting, we trust God that He is able and will provide. Jesus said in Mat 12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath
That very statement pointed to us that Jesus is the rest, and by being Lord of the Sabbath, He is God, the giver of Sabbath and the provider on Sabbath.
How many of us actually rest - physically rested in the Lord? Teach what is important to our children and don't argue the works of men for the sake of religion truth. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath!
