A
Practical Sunday or Saturday Sabbath verses Legalisms’ Sunday or Saturday Sabbath observation?
Today in our Christendom arguments doubt and uncertainty abound. For some it is to obey and be accepted by God by not doing certain things that are practical or in other words to just be idle physically so as to be spiritually acceptable and not anger God or offend Jesus on a certain day “Sabbath”. While considering other believers want to please the Lord by not doing practical everyday things so as not to offend the Lord on the Sabbath that they may keep it holy. Jesus addressed this simply in His comments do not be so legalistic about doing to be holy if your life or the life of others or even an animal is in need or in a simple word practical love responding to others life as your own.
What about the Sabbath within the legalistic (whether partial or fully) belief of keeping the Sabbath holy; the pastor or any minister that is working on the Sabbath whether it is Saturday or Sunday. These ministers whether preachers, teachers, pastors, evangelist, administrators, deacons musicians and others are breaking the legalistic demands of the Sabbath. They are laboring in the physical by laboring spiritually of which they are due their wages laboring for the saints. Do they not break the Sabbath? It seems to me they do according to the legal letter. They are accountable on a higher accountability and if God sees it, is God now anointing those that break the Sabbath for those who do not adhere to the strict or do accept the liberal adherence of obeying the Sabbath and this is done every Sabbath this is an acceptable mind set and that knowingly they are under so He goes on to anoint them regardless? Where is any communication that God does so i.e. What “Word” is specifically categorically referenced in the New Covenant?
So, we either ignore this as we meet (our choice of the Sabbath day Saturday or Sunday) or we accept the simple practicality that God is not interested for us to be legalistic about loving Him growing in faith in His giving of His love through faith along with His full confident in Christ Jesus to fulfill all His heart’s desire to develop us into loving obedient sons and daughters without the law of legalism but the law of (if you want to say law); mercy, grace agape, personal relationship, obedience by mutual love and adoration for Him each and every day.
