“HAPPY SABBATH!” השבת מאושרת One gentleman who worked in a large grocery chain in the Midwest of America, through study of the Scriptures, discovered the Sabbath truth. He was so excited with this blessed revelation that he immediately went to his employers and told them that he would no longer be available for work from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. During the following week each worker in his department approached him with a potluck of arguments to deter him from his new un-traditional commitment to Sabbathkeeping. The first one told him that the Bible says: • One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind • ~Romans 14:5~ The co-worker tried to explain that the text meant he could do whatever seemed right to him and that he wasnt required to keep any particular day: Fine, his friend replied. Ill take the Sabbath. Im fully persuaded that thats the day to keep. Seeing his cohorts failure, another worker approached the Sabbathkeeper with this argument: It doesnt really mean that we have to keep Saturday. What the Bible really means is that we are to rest every seventh day and it doesnt matter what day we start counting on as long as we rest one day in a sequence of seven. Fine, he replied. If it doesnt matter, Ill take Saturday as my one day in seven. The next co-worker told him that in the New Testament there was no specific day set aside for worship: Youre supposed to keep every day holy, he explained. The new Sabbathkeeper replied: I do believe I should worship God every day, but if Im keeping every day holy and resting from work. That wouldnt be holy; that would be lazy. Another worker told him that the Sabbath was only for the Jews. The new Sabbathkeeper asked: Then why did Jesus say, • The sabbath was made for man • ~Mark 2:27~ Thats a funny way to spell Jew. Was Adam a Jew when Jesus spent the first Sabbath with him in the Garden of Eden? Still another told him that it was not necessary to keep the Ten Commandments because WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE: Are you saying that I can now steal your money and covet your wife? he responded. “HAPPY SABBATH!” השבת מאושרת Part 2 of video next Sabbath
