Concerning the Sabbath and Israel; Concerning the Sabbath and the New Covenant…

The Sabbath, first given Israel’s children in Exodus 16, foreshadowed Messiah (Colossians 2:16) and when the fulfillment of the Sabbath entered Time through Judah’s Tribe, Israel’s children denied Him; Israel’s children mocked and blasphemed Him; Israel’s children scourged Him; Israel’s children murdered Him upon a Tree and demanded that His blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Israel’s Sabbath was profaned by those to whom He came (Matthew 15:25); Israel profaned the Sabbath’s fulfillment in the Father’s presence.

If you love Jesus and honor Him by faith in Jesus as your Messiah, believing that Jesus died for you to pay your sin-debt, a debt you could never pay yourself, you are keeping the Sabbath and the Father is pleased and honored by your faith in His Son (John 6:29). You are doing well; therefore, “rest” in Jesus as your Lord (Romans 5:1; Matthew 11:28-30).
