1) Jesus Christ kept the Sabbath Day. Luke 4:16 ... and as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day ..."

 

2) Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:27-28 "... the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath: therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath."

                               

3) We are commanded to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy. Exodus 20:8 and keep it sanctified, Deuteronomy 5:12.

 

4) Jesus Christ did not do away with the Law Mathew 5:17 of which he said if you are to enter into life, keep the commandments Matthew 19:17.

 

5) Christ stated that he who loves me will keep his commandments John 14:15 and we show the love of God by keeping his commandments which are not grievous I John 5:3.

 

6) The Law and the commandments are Holy, Just and Good Romans 7:12.

 

 

7) The law and the commandments are truth Psalm 119:`142, 151.

 

8) The judgment of God is according to the truth Romans 2:2.


9) Jesus Christ will judge us.  Romans 14:10-12 "... for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, as I live saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."  

 

II Corinthians 4:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

 

10) Jesus Christ commands that his servants imitate him. Luke 6: 40 "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."  I Peter 2: 21 "For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow in his steps: who did no sin ..." I John 2:6 "He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

 

Since Jesus Christ kept the Sabbath and requires we do as He did, we should therefore keep the Sabbath Day.
