It is true that the Lords day does have new meaning; its more than just rules of what not to do. We need to be reminded that the 10 Commandments are NOT 10 suggestions. The commandments bring blessings to those who obey. This doesnt mean that someone is righteous because they obey commandments, but it does mean that there is judgment for those who break them. Which of the 10 commandments were abolished with the coming of Jesus Christ? NONE! We are still to follow all of them. Just because the Pharisees, over applied the commandment of the Sabbath, adding 100s of man made rules, doesnt justify the fact that we now pretty much neglect the 4th commandment, seldom even mentioning it in Sermons. Lets be reminded that the 4th commandment was not some little Levitical law, buried in scripture, mentioned only once. No, it was written on stone, along with the other Major commandments, and consistently held important throughout scripture; in the Law, the Prophets, in the days of Jesus, and in the early Church. We know how passionate Jesus was against those who desecrated the Lord Temple (aggressively driving them out with a whip), but I never guessed that He would also be passionate against those who violate the Lords Day. We must remember that every blessing of God is in jeopardy, for someone who does not fear the Lord, or obey His Word. And now, it has been shown by revelation and scripture, that violating the 4th commandment is very serious, and can even bring eternal condemnation. Exodus 20:8-12 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. The text of the 4th commandment, basically says, - Dedicate the day to the Lord, - Dont do your business, or work - Dont have others do your business, dont hire others to work for you. Shallom...
