Jesus in the Weekly Sabbath.

Christians are divided over the observance of the Sabbath; if to observe and when to observe. The Sabbath was the seventh day of the week and to violate the Sabbath is to break one of the Ten Commandments.

The weekly sabbath was not one of the Seven annual feasts of GOD. However, it is the basis of the others and a good understanding of its institution, purpose, and practice is essential to understanding the annual feasts. Why did the ancient Israelites celebrate a Seventh Day Sabbath? Who changed the Sabbath Day from Saturday to Sunday? Jesus claimed to be the LORD of the Sabbath; what did He mean? Was the Jewish first day of the week the same as the Roman Sunday?
The command to “keep the Sabbath” is the fourth of the Decalogue. Some people ask the question: “are Christians bound by the ten commandments?” If your answer is “yes” then that’s the end of questions. However, if your answer is “no”, then they continue with: “Is it okay for us to steal? Is it okay for us to murder? Is it okay for us to have idols? Is it okay for us to not keep the Sabbath?” The mode of interrogation has a desired response, “no”. This series of questions are not meant to determine whether Christians should or shouldn’t keep the Commandments especially the Sabbath or they would be phrased another way: “Do you believe that the Ten Commandments are the rule of life for a Christian today?” Another way might be: “To whom were the ten Commandments given?”
