The 10 Commandments | Keep the Sabbath Holy

As we continue our study of the Ten Commandments, we turn to God’s 4th command to keep the Sabbath day holy. To understand its relevance for Christians today, we first considered the pattern of the Sabbath, drawing from God’s own example in creation, where His rest points us to worship Him. Secondly, we examined the purpose of the Sabbath, recognizing it as a covenant sign that sets God’s people apart from the world. Finally, we reflected on the proclamation of the Sabbath, in that it points to salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For Christians today, the Sabbath finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ Himself, for Jesus is our true Sabbath rest.
