Thank you so much for this helpful podcast. I also agree with you that Christ is truly our Sabbath. Now, we celebrate the "Lord's Day",where we do'rest' and enjoy fellowship with God's people.
But I don't know that we are to simply bring the Old Testament Sabbath,specifically, into our rest . One thing I have done has been to invite people from Church out to eat, where we fellowship and discuss the sermon, etc. Is it OK to do this? Thanks so much.
Hi John, you're welcome. I encourage you to continue with the series, and on Friday (tomorrow) I will be releasing the final episode, which discusses how the Sabbath is actually fulfilled in Christ.
It is important to remember that the Sabbath is a moral command, not something that was part of the ceremonial law, which is what we discussed in this episode (#3) that you commented on. The point being, that Christians still must observe the Sabbath.
A lot of people get triggered by that for some reason, but the reality is that if you believe stealing or lying or cheating is wrong as a Christian, then so is neglecting God's special day that He gave to man to rest with Him intentionally. As of Christ the meaning of the Sabbath has been fully revealed, and you will learn that in Episode 9, but another important factor is that the Sabbath will take center stage in the coming months and years as the mark of the beast will begin to be rolled out. I strongly encourage you to learn the truth in those episodes as they are very relevant.
There is nothing wrong with having fellowship with friends on any day of the week, or going to church on Sunday. The issue is rest, and history tells us that the devil will again mandate rest on Sunday just like he did through the beast for many centuries. It behooves anyone to learn the truth of these things now and enter into a practice so that they are not deceived. We are not saved by keeping the Sabbath. We keep the Sabbath because we are saved and it has its fullest meaning in Christ - yet that Sabbath has and always will be on the 7th day.
Thank you so very much. :) God bless.
