testment and the sab bath exod 20 811 ii jesus and the sasbath matt 12 18 iii the cuurch an1 the loiujs hay john ju id rev 1 10 introduction the sablath is an institution with a great snd honor able history it began with the pur pose of giving a day of rest to those who were burdened by the engrossing labor of the world undei the new dispensation it came to be the lords day on which jesus rose from the dead but the thought of rest t con tinued if tlis dy is tast art the demands of pleasure and busireas are allowed to take it away the result will be very injurious alike to the body and to the soul i the olli tksijent and the sab bath kxoci 20 811 v 8 this is the fourth of the ten commandments or decalogue and goes back to early times v 9 the sabbath law yas not in tended to promote indolence simre the bible is very decided in tic way in which it makes work one of the neces sities of life unless a man work neither shall he cat it is generally recognized that work is one of the ele mentary conditions of happiness and is not to be regarded as a curse but as a blessing but work must not engross all mans time an- c gy v 10 the two objects o this sab bath are here mentioned 1 it is gods day when man recognizes that he is a child of god that he has a spiritual nature and that he can never b satisfied if he gives no attention to these demands of the soul 2 it is also meant for the restoration of tho body and every member of the home is to be included in this the rights of the socalled working cesses are set forth indus y must not be allow ed to enslave my class of people in general it may be saic that the prim ary idea in the sabbath of the old testament was philanthrope but as time advanced many new restrictions were introduced vci tended to con ceal the original purpose hegulations were formed which dealt with all kinds of situations and while it must not be thought tha the jews regarded their sabbath as a burden yet these new laws were oppored to the prin ciple of freedom ii jesus and the sabdath matt 12 18 v 1 there were few things for which jesus was more bitterly attack ed than for his attitude to the sab bath it is clear that he observed the da for worship 1 that he attended the services of the temple and tho synagogue but ic refused to regard binding all these minor restrictions which the jews had introduced into the celebration of the sabbath he so treated this day that a new altitude to it arose an j the christian sabbath therefore is different from the later jewish sabbath in this present story we see how the disciples plucked tho cars of corn possibly on their way to the synagogue nol because the dis ciples had taken what did not belong to them but because their action was a kind of reaping and threshing which was definitely forbidden v 3 jesus defends his disciples with an example taken from the his tory of israel from cne of their her oes david in a time of necessity took the sacred bread thus showing that the higher law of necessity sets asid the ritual law v 5 he also shows how the very radio operator has travel record trained operators in chargo of radioequipped cars in daily service on e canadian national railways travelled a total of g131726 mlc3 during jtcsumcnt sabbath had gone but its 28 and the mo3t travelled operator during tho twclvo months was p k spirit passed over into the wds day fact of worship makes it needful that the priests should do all kinds of work on the sabbath the sabbath is tho ministers heavfes day in other in stances jesus appealed to the ele mentary law of mercy and kindness to show that kindness is to be placed above mere obedience to a rule nec essity and mercy arc able to modify this commandment v c jesus now introduces a quito new factor and lays claim to the right to change ihis day he is the lord of all and as such has authority over the day the old testament sabbath thus passes and its place is to be taken by the day which is appointed for the worship of christ iii the church and the lords day john 20 19 rev 1 10 john 20 19 the christians evi dently began quite early to keep the first day of the week because it was associated with the resurrection of their lord it was felt that a new conception of worship had appeared and the disciples were so overwhelmed with the majesty of llieir risen lord that they associate their sacred day with him it is the day when he brought new life to them rev 1 10 this is the first mention of the term lords day john was banished to ihe island of patmos be cause of his christian confession and on the first day of the week he recalls the fact that his brethren in ephosus are worshipping in their little gather ing he is present with the in im agination and while he does this ho passes into a stale of ecstasy in
