The Sabbath Day

The Sabbath Day is the last day of the week; the seventh day. To the Hebrews, this was Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.  They were commanded to rest on this day.

Honour it, if you can or want to. Jesus tells us that you are not obliged to honour it, because the Sabbath was made for men, not men for the Sabbath. He tells us also that we, therefore, are master over the Sabbath: we decide whether to observe it or not. If you work in a restaurant you very likely will have to work on Sundays, as with many other occupations    – and of course, he knew this!
