Hi -
Is your point, Saturday is the first day of the week and should be observed as ...
A day of rest?
A day of worship unto the Lord?
God Bless,
Taken
No, my point is that Saturday is the LAST day of the week, the seventh day, which God set aside for us to rest and worship Him, fellowship with the brethren, go on God's errands like Meals on Wheels, visiting the nursing homes, etc. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are decreed W-O-R-K days, per the Fourth Commandment, right?
And I just LOVE IT when people get all sanctimonious and pious and devout and say, "...**ahem**....
I worship God
every day..."
Really?
How many of us slave all day at the office, the field, or where ever, putting up with the boss' aggravation, coworker aggravation, customer aggravation, etc., and then after a long day have time to do anything but rush home and tackle domestic affairs before getting the family ready to call it a day and preparing to do it all over again the next day? How many of us? The answer is none of us. God knew it.
THAT'S WHY HE GAVE US THE SABBATH. The day HE designated, the seventh day, for coming apart from all that mumbo jumbo and resting from it all as we rest in Jesus,
remembering how it was in the Garden before this awful mess we got ourselves into and
being reminded that one day not far off, we'll be done with all the trials, heartache, toil, etc., that we must endure while we are yet awaiting His return.
And after God Who is the only One Who can make anything holy and declared the seventh day holy, no sinful man can come along and make another day holy...ESPECIALLY one that God already designated a W-O-R-K day, right or wrong?
