Don't forget the Sabbath
Don’t forget the Sabbath,
The Lord our God hath blest,
Of all the week the brightest,
Of all the week the best;
It brings repose from labor,
It tells of joy divine,
Its beams of light descending,
With heav’nly beauty shine.
Refrain:
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day,
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day.
Keep the Sabbath holy,
And worship Him today,
Who said to His disciples,
'I am the living Way';
And if we meekly follow
Our Savior here below,
He’ll give us of the fountain
Whose streams eternal flow.
Day of sacred pleasure!
Its golden hours we’ll spend
In thankful hymns to Jesus,
The children’s dearest Friend;
O gentle, loving, Savior,
How good and kind Thou art,
How precious is Thy promise
To dwell in every heart!
We're no longer under the Law given to the Jews.
(Romans 14:5-6 NIV) One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. {6} He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
(Exodus 35:2-3 NIV) For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death. {3} Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day."
You couldn't even make a fire on the Sabbath. Or cook. Or travel more than about 2/3 of a mile.
I think people who talk about following the Sabbath have no idea what that even means.
