The
Bible Sabbath
Lesson
14
Marking
Code: S
Marking Color: Blue
Key Text: Revelation 1:10
- Revelation 1:10. The
Lord has a day that belongs to Him,
that is His day-the Lord’s day.
This text doesn’t tell us what
that day is, but obviously, the
Lord’s day is not just any
day. The Lord has a special day.
- Matthew 12:8. Jesus
is Lord of the Sabbath day.
Therefore, the Lord’s day is the
Sabbath day. However, this text still
doesn’t tell us which day is the
Sabbath day.
- Exodus 20:8-11. The
seventh day of the week is the
Sabbath-the Lord’s day. It is
the weekly birthday of our world!
- Genesis 2:1-3.
God made the Sabbath at the creation
of our world, long before there was
Jew or Gentile. Therefore, the
Sabbath belongs to all humanity, not
to any one race of people. God did
three things to make the Sabbath His
special day: He rested on it; He
blessed it; and He sanctified it-set
it apart for a holy use.
- Colossians 1:14-17.
Jesus is the Creator of Genesis.
He made our world and everything in
it. Jesus is the One who made the
Sabbath in the beginning.
John
1:10; Mark 2:27, 28; Hebrews 1:1, 2;
Ephesians 3:9.
- Luke 4:16. While
on earth, Jesus kept the Sabbath.
- Luke 23:54-24:1. At
His crucifixion, our Creator-Redeemer
rested on the Sabbath from His
finished work of salvation just as He
had rested on the seventh-day Sabbath
at Creation after He finished His
work.
- Matthew 24: 15-20. Jesus
predicted continued Sabbath
observance following His death and
resurrection. He spoke of the Sabbath
in connection with the destruction of
Jerusalem that took place forty years
later.
- Acts 17:2. Paul
kept the Sabbath during his ministry
as an ongoing practice. He had no
doubt as to which day of the week was
the Sabbath. In fact, the books of
Acts records repeated instances of
the apostles worshiping on the
seven-day Sabbath.
Acts
13:14, 42, 44; 16:13; 18:4.
- Ezekiel 20:12,20. The
Sabbath is a sign of our salvation
and redemption.
Hebrews
4:1-11.
- Isaiah 66:22,23. In
the new earth, after sin has been
destroyed, the redeemed will worship
on the Sabbath just as Adam and Eve
did before sin arose in the Garden of
Eden.
- Revelation 22:14. God
is leading earnest Christians back to
all of His commandments. A
rebellious people were separated from
the tree of life in the Garden of
Eden when sin came. An obedient
people will be given access to the
tree of life in Paradise when sin is
done away with forever.
S-End.
