Do not keep the Sabbath.
Sabbath keepers like Seventh-day Adventists and the Hebrew Roots movement will often point
to the fourth commandment in Exodus chapter 20 as a proof text as to why we should keep
the Sabbath.
Now interestingly enough, they never go to the New Testament.
Let me give you a couple reasons why we shouldn't keep the Sabbath.
Number one is that the command to keep the Sabbath was actually repealed at the death
of Jesus Christ.
You see, the command to remember the Sabbath was initiated when the Old Covenant was instituted.
And according to the New Testament, that Old Covenant concluded when Jesus Christ was
crucified.
Hebrew chapter 9 verse 10 says that the meats, drinks, and divers washings and cardinal ordinances
such as the Sabbath were imposed upon them until the time of reformation referring to
the death of Jesus Christ.
The New Testament supersedes the Old.
And number two, anybody who observes the Sabbath is actually marring what it symbolizes.
In the Old Testament when the Sabbath was kept, men were to cease from their labors.
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is our Sabbath who labors for us and we rest in the
finished work of Jesus Christ according to Hebrews 4 verse 3.
