What is the Sabbath Day?

  In history religion has taught that God created the world in six days, and on the seventh day God rested from His work. In the Ten Commandments God originally told the Israelites to rest on the seventh day, because God rested from His work on that day. Throughout time, mankind has chosen to honour God’s word by resting on the seventh day. What we need to understand is that the Sabbath day is not forced rest. Jesus said in the New Testament, Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27) What Jesus was saying is that God created the day of rest for man. It was His way of Blessing mankind for the work that we do during the week. God wants mankind to take one day a week, traditionally it was Sunday, and to go to church.   God knows this life is hard, so He ordained one day a week that we should rest. For some it can be a Saturday, but the principle exists, not to make us lazy, but to change the rhythm of our lives, so that we don’t forget God.
