The Sabbath is our Lord Jesus Our God, the Lord of rest. Matt 12:8
Because the true Word is our God of rest. John 1:1 – 3
LESSON ONE
1. Beloved we learned that the people of Israel who received the Laws of worship on the Sabbath don’t actually know the Sabbath they worship.
And because they don’t know it, they became ignorant of the Sabbath worship. Now the real pronunciation of the English word Sabbath is the Hebrew word called shabath, and this shabath means rest forever
2. And this very shabath the people of Israel together with their Pharisees and priest were all ignorance about, that is why the words came to the prophet Hosea saying lack of knowledge my people (Israel) perish. Hosea 4:5. They are perish because they don’t have the truth of understanding about the words Sabbath given them.
3. Don’t forget that from the very beginning of the creation God our LORD didn’t give to man which He created like Him a day which is called shabath to be a day of worship. He only gave them a day to rest out of the seventh day. Gen 2:1 – 3 In verse 3 the word LORD said He blessed that seventh day and set apart to be a special day because that day was the very day He completed creation (His work) Now God by His true words, he didn’t say He had set that very day for worshipping Him but only a day for rest.
4. Beloved don’t be deceived or fooled by anyone who claim to be superior than you in the scripture (concerning scripture And truly this day was a day that the first man always do rest after he cultivated the garden of Eden. Adam rested out of his six days work but he didn’t worship the Lord.
5. And from that very day and time God created Man to the time of Noah, the time of Abraham, no one worshipped God on a day called shabath. They all maintain a rest on the seventh day.
6. This is what is been observe in our living as human beings. And in the whole wide world every body do work on six days and rest on the seventh day as said in Genesis 2:1-3. Even the governments also agree with that. Now in the Government or company works if you yourself delight on working on the day of rest that God gave, then you are entitle of receiving a double pay or wages which is in the form of a day bonus. Exo 20:9 – 10
7. Remember that Abraham being a very good friend of God his LORD, didn’t observe a day called Sabbath to honor it or to be worshipped. Now ask yourself why God didn’t make Abraham to worship on the day of Sabbath which His descendant are doing today, even Isaac and Jacob didn’t worship on this seventh day.
8. These three faithful men of God, whom God raised these big families (Israel), why didn’t they worship on the Sabbath day but in all they pleased God in all their ways. This is why in Galatians 3:6 – 9 the scriptures makes us know that we are the seed of Abraham through faith.
9. Even Moses, the prophet at first didn’t know what is called shabath day until the time came that God wanted to test the people, children of Israel who were slaves in Egypt.
10. Beloved this is what the Holy Scriptures tells us in the book of Moses. Exodus 15:25, It says God gave the Laws to live by, why? Because of their stubbornness to the true words of God that is why God gave them the Law including the Sabbath day which is the seventh day to be observed or worshipped.
11. This also indicates that, from the beginning that Moses brought them out of Egypt, all of them were not given a day to worship until God the LORD decided to give them the day of meeting together to worship him the true God.
12. To this, He invited Moses, their leader and prophet to mountain Sinai and gave them the Laws, commandments for worshipping Him on the Sabbath day. Exodus 20:1-17, In verse 8 – 11, He said to Moses they should observe Sabbath and keep it holy. This is where the problem came to the people of Israel, together with their Levites, Pharisees and priest, and what was this problem? The problem of understanding the word “observe” the Sabbath and keep it Holy. But this people of Israel didn’t keep the Sabbath Holy. In verse 10, the LORD said to them the seventh day. Now what does this mean, let see what it means, in verse 10, all of us, including gentiles should also observe this Sabbath, but by then it was only for the Israelites who were worshipping and observing the Sabbath.
13. This is telling us that the Sabbath is talking about the coming of Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath which is to be observed by every human being ie Jews and Gentiles together Lev 19:30
14. If God said He rested on the seventh day, He is talking about physical rest which He has set for mankind to observe, followed, but spiritually He has an eternal rest for them.
15. To this, the son came and broke the Sabbath Law because He knew this fact and so the leaders didn’t understand Him. So he said to them, “my father who sent me is always working therefore I must also work.” John 5:15 – 20, the verse 20 tells us that the Son cannot do anything unless He sees the FATHER, the LORD doing it, before He also do the same. This proves that truly the FATHER works everyday without rest spiritually and therefore the Son also works as the FATHER does, this became “ LIKE FATHER LIKE SON”.
16. The Son said again that as long as it is day, I must do the works of Him who sent me, night cometh when no man can work. John 9:4 You could see that the Son has being given the power to work everyday too as the THE FATHER. Now ask yourself isn’t the LORD who said the seventh day is a day of rest. As read in the book of Genesis.
17. This is talking about how the Son is working for God in His Vineyard (the Church) so that we may receive the eternal rest, to this, the Son “who came in the name of the Lord, the Sabbath said to the people of Israel that the Son of Man(GOD) is the LORD of the Sabbath, that is why He Himself broke the physical Law. Matt 12:1 – 8
18. And because He is the Sabbath Lord that gives rest forever without working where he will come as a King to rule all kings of the World. Rev 1:5 – 8, He said to them, hear him saying come to me and rest. Math 11:28. This is telling you physically that if you keep the seventh day (Saturday), you know and worship on it then you that fellow is full of load, burden and the only one who can take it from you, for you to become free and have rest is the Lord Jesus Christ.
19. Therefore till now, those who are worshipping on the Sabbath day (Saturday) are full of load and they need the Son who is the true Sabbath to give them rest. As Apostle Paul in his letter in the book of 2 Corinthian 3:1 – 17. And this Sabbath, who is the Lord Jesus is a new covenant which consist not of a written Law but of the Spirit, because the written Law brings death but the Spirit Law brings life eternally, verse 1 – 6
20. Now read and understand the facts about the Sabbath, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave to the people of Israel. This Sabbath is a shadow and copy to the real and true Sabbath worship to come. And so, the servant said, the LORD your GOD will raise among you a prophet just like me, the LORD your God will put His words in His month and he is the one you should all obey. Deut. 18:16 – 20
21. And Apostles also wrote about what Moses said about the prophet, they also said “He must remain until the time come for all things to be made new as he announces through the prophets” Acts 3:17 – 23
22. Now Saul, the Paul also witness this facts that the Law and its Sabbath worship is truly the copy to Christ. Colo. 2:16 – 19, Heb. 8:5 – 6, 13. Therefore, Apostle Paul urges and adviced that “do not be deceive, for you to stop holding on to the Word of the Christ, who is to come and restore all things just as Moses made known to the Israelites before the Christ, the Messiah came.
John 1:40 – 41, John 4:25 – 26, Gal 4:6 – 10
23. And Christ is the high Priest to do this work, just as Moses was Heb 3:1 – 6,9 – 11, 14, 18 – 19 Rev 14:12 – 13
In Heb 3:9 – 11, God truly promised them a rest but because of their stubbornness God refuse them the rest that He promised, who is the Christ Jesus, verse 14 for this all of us that believe in the CHRIST as the Lord of the Sabbath, we became partners with Christ if we hold firmly to the end with confidence we had at the beginning. In verse 18 for their disobedience to the voice (WORD). God made the promise that they will never enter the Land where He would give them rest, of whom was He speaking? Of those who rebelled. In verse 19, Apostle Paul said that they were not to enter the Land because they don’t believe.
24. Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, because His name gives rest and on every resting day there are appointed priest to serve on that day, for that matter God our Lord appointed the Son to be the High Priest who sits at the right side of the throne of the Divine Majesty in Heaven. Heb. 8:1-7, 13
In verse two, the scripture declares that the Son who is the Priest serve in the Most High place, that is the real and true that was put up by the Lord not man. Verse 14 says, that if he was on earth, He would not be a Priest at all because physically their one Priest already who offer daily gifts required by the Jewish Law, but in verse six, Jesus has been given priestly works which is superior to theirs, just as the covenant which He has arranged between God and His people is a better one, because He based on promise of better things. And we are His chosen people not the Jews because we are born not by human origin decision. John 1:11 – 13. Therefore we deserve a better tent with it rest. The Son came in the form of the FATHER so that through Him, He will bring us the Gentile back to Himself. Colo 1:15 – 23
25. Therefore, He came to abolish the old Law of worship because of the new covenant, that we must follow this covenant which is the perfect worship in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:14 - 22
