Scriptures:
Exodus 20:8-11
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping
it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is
a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you,
nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals,
nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and
the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Mark 2:23-28
One Sabbath Jesus was going
through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick
some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what
is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
He answered, “Have you never read
what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days
of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the
consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave
some to his companions.”
Then he said to them, “The Sabbath
was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of
the Sabbath.”
Genesis 2:3
Genesis 2:3
God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
Deuteronomy 5:15
Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD
your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
Mark 3:1-4
Another time he went into the synagogue,
and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a
reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him
on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in
front of everyone.”
Then
Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to
save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
Luke 13:10-17
Luke 13:10-17
On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in
one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit
for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When
Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free
from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she
straightened up and praised God.
Indignant because Jesus had
healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, “There are six
days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of
you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to
give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from
what bound her.
When he said this, all his opponents
were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he
was doing.
Luke 14:1-4
One
Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being
carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy. Jesus
asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the
Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed
him and sent him away.
Colossians 2:16–17
Colossians 2:16–17
Therefore do not
let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious
festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the
things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
Amos 8:5,6
“When will the New Moon be over that
we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”— skimping the measure, boosting the price and
cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a
pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
