Our Earth resembles a huge orphan House,
where we often feel lonely and uncomfortable.
CHRIST CAME TO EARTH TO TAKE US OUT OF IT AND
BRING INTO THE HOUSE OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
Jesus said that anyone who would devote
himself to God, perhaps orphaning ( Matthew 19.28-29 ). The Apostle Paul says
about it:
Because you have not accepted the spirit of
slavery to again live in fear, but took the spirit of adoption, Whereby we cry,
"Abba, father!" the selfsame Spirit reflects the spirit of
instrumental, that we are children of God. And if children, then heirs, heirs
of God, HEIRS of the same Christ, if only with him and become famous.
Romans 8.15-17
To do this, step by step to follow in the
footsteps of the great teacher and Savior Jesus Christ ( John 8.12, 12.26 ).
In the footsteps of Christ
Christ, living among the people, KEPT the
SABBATH DAY ( Luke 4.16, 19.31 ).
In many other places, the Gospel says that
the Sabbath days of Christ in the synagogues, teaching and mentoring, as well
as healing them. It is said that in the days of Christ, the Sabbath day has
become a day of special blessing of God.
Christ said that we can and need to heal from
the bonds of the devil on the Sabbath day ( Luke 13.10-17 ). It is clear that Saturday highlighted to
demonstrate the power of God to suffering people.
Christ is Lord of the Sabbath, which is for
the BENEFIT OF MAN ( Mark 2.27-28 ). People have distorted its
meaning, but the true value in a State rehabilitation resume.
Since everything was created by Christ ( Hebrews
1.1-2, 1.16 ), and Saturday to Lena.
The Sabbath day is separated from the rest of
the days of the week when the creation ( Gen 2.2-3 ).
When God rested on the seventh day, blessed
and sanctified it, he showed the example of the man.
For Eternal Lord does not get tired, weak and
needs rest. But he knew that we are going to need to rest, so blessed and
sanctified the seventh day for us ( Is 40.28 ).
According to the Scriptures, the seventh day
of the week is the Sabbath ( Exodus 20.8-11 ).
The words "remember the Sabbath
day" indicate that the Lord even earlier, from creating, committing people
to observe the Sabbath day.
IN THIS COMMANDMENT OF GOD EXPRESSES HIS
CONCERN AND LOVE FOR ALL LIU-DÂM ALL CLASSES. Because everyone needs a day of
rest and recreation. Man this is complete as given to man remembered and knew
his Lord and creator, created the huge world for us to live in six days.
The Prophet Isaiah had the word of the Lord
on the observance of Sabbath ( Isaiah
14-58.13 ).
The assertion that Saturday only for Jews,
has no reason to, because in ancient times Pagans joining Israelis observe
Sabbath ( Isaiah 56.6-7 ) :
My House will called House of prayer for all
peoples.
Christ calls come to the representatives of
all peoples, and this means compliance-give with faith the commandments of God ( Matt 11.28-29 ).
On Saturday you can do good works, as shown
on the example of Christ's sheep, fallen into the pit ( Mark 12.10-12 ).
Compliance order Saturday in antiquity:
Six days you can make the case, and in the
seventh day Sabbath of rest, a sacred Assembly; any case not do; This Saturday
the Lord in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23.3
And Moses said to them: that's what the Lord
said: tomorrow is the rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; that are oven, bake,
and that I must Cook today (Friday), and that will remain set aside and save.
Exodus 16.23
This means that on Saturday to leave their
daily business, but doing good (Affairs) legitimately in the Sabbath day,
because FACILITATES HUMAN SUFFERING and fill the SOUL with a SENSE of
gratitude.
There are cases that are not valid on
Saturday:
In those days I saw in Judea, which on
Saturday were treaded winepress, carry the sheaves and load asses wine, grapes,
figs and every cargo, and taken in Sabbath day in Jerusalem. And I strongly
chastised them the same day sold edibles. And Tirians lived in Judea and
brought fish and every product and sold on Saturday residents of Judea and in
Jerusalem. And I did reprimand nobles of the Jews and said to them: why are you
doing such evil and DESECRATE the SABBATH DAY?
Nehemiah 13.15-17
Thus, the MUNDANE work is considered evil, if
committed on Saturday.
Jesus told His disciples that they should
pray that their flight is not happened "in the winter or on the Sabbath" ( Mt 24.20 ).
Our observance of the fourth commandment must
emanate FROM FEELINGS of LOVE to God ( John 14.15-21 ).

The
fact that the Lord rested on that day, HAD ALREADY made it Saturday. When the

every seventh day Sabbath of God on the day of creation (Ex 20.8-11).
The
only reason Saturday's blessing and sanctification is that God rested on that
day, so he blessed her and consecrated when it was all over.
What
Saturday is set by God, not man, is it the title of (Saturday, My Sabbath, the
Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath) and bears his stamp and name.
The

TRUTHS that were the consequence of the creation.

Observance
of the Sabbath is a symbol of faithfulness to God:
"Also
gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between me and them, to know that I am the
Lord that SANCTIFY them" (Ezekiel 20.12).
THIS IS A SIGN FOREVER!

helping others:
"Which
of you, having a sheep if it will fall into the pit on Saturday, he will take
it and lift it out? How many people is better than a sheep? So you can in
Saturday to do good" (Matt 12.11-12).
But
this does not mean that Saturday could be the ordinary working day, or we must
comply with the other day.

Christian era it would continue. So after the crucifixion and resurrection of
Christ to his disciples follow on Saturday and prayed about the day of the
flight of 40 years (Matt 24.20).

necessary to do good
SATURDAY
AFTER THE CROSS
The
day after the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament, was named SATURDAY:
"After the Sabbath." (Mark 16.1), "on the first day of the
week" (Luke 24.1).
The
Holy wives "on Saturday, were left alone by the COMMANDMENT" (Luke
23.56).
The
first Christians (the Church in Antioch and not only) observe Saturday and on
this day were going to "listen to the word of God" (Acts 13.44).
From
the Cathedral in Jerusalem in 51 AD, learn that addressed Gentiles HAD REGULAR
MEETINGS on Saturdays. "The law of Moses from ancient lineages in all
cities is advocating it and is read in synagogues (houses of prayer) every
Saturday" (Acts 15.21).
The
Apostle Paul carried out the service in Philippi on Saturday: "on the day
of the Sabbath we went outside the city to the River, where, as usual, was a
HOUSE of PRAYER, and the North spoke to assembled there by women" (Acts
16.13).
Church
in Thessaloniki also met on Saturday, Came in Thessaloniki... and Paul...
three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures "(Acts 17.1-2).
The
Church at Corinth is also observed Saturday: "after these things Paul left
Athens and went to Corinth. In all
Saturday spoke to them in a synagogue and conviction gave the Jews and Greeks" (Acts 18.1-4).
Because the word of God
calls the seventh day Sabbath after the crucifixion of Christ and the early
Christians observe Saturday, considering it binding, then it is OBLIGATORY also
for current Christians.
