Luke 24:44

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be FULFILLED that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
This means the sabbath laws are written about Him.

Can you explain how He is their fulfillment? How they are shadows of Him, the substance?

God blessed and sanctified the seventh day which is Saturday. Jesus kept Saturday Holy and said He is Lord of the Sabbath.

Please show me who or where God has unsanctified or taken the blessing away from that day.

No other day can claim this sanctified blessing. If you think it doesn't matter look up sanctified and why did God say Remember it?

Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

The Sabbath was made for mankind. At creation before any race (Jews), before sin.

Is it still for us today?
If you mean must we observe every rule around the sabbath, no. Legalists attacked Lord Jesus for violating the sabbath by healing people. If you mean is it wise to have a day a week where you do something other than your normal work, for sure. A builder might want to potter around in his garden. An IT guy might want to do some woodwork. This modern idea that your job owns you is wrong and destructive.

It is the reason behind the sabbath that counts. Anyone with a family knows that getting four kids ready for church is hard work. So much for sabbath rest. Yes, we should have a day of recreation. It is interesting to note that the early church met daily, not just on Sundays. I've been involved in a fellowship that did this. It's a great antidote to exposure to the world that we endure by working for unbelievers.

"Do not lie" is also one of the commandments. So why do you deny what you have said?

You don't bring sacrifices to the temple. You say those jots and tittles are deleted.
Again the law itself is not the same thing as the penalties for breaking the law. Do you not understand???

If running a red light used to have a penalty of a $300 dollar ticket and that penalty goes away and is replaced with community service instead, the law itself does not change. You still break the law by running the red light...

Do you get it?

So you execute gays, adulterers, rebellious children and those who work on weekends as the Law COMMANDS? Or do you pick and choose the parts you like?
I just explained this in my previous post... but I'll leave it for you as well...

Breaking laws (a.k.a. committing sin) had earthly penalties attached to them under the mosaic covenant. He "fulfilled" the law by paying the penalties for these sins. The penalty for sin is death... Him dying paid that penalty.... Hence "fulfilling" the law.

Are you under the Law or not? Do you even know? Sabbath is from the Law! Christians are not under any part of the Law.

Galatians 3:24-25 (NKJV)
24 Therefore
the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

And that includes Sabbath COMMANDS!

I’m not sure what bible version you are currently using, but in the KJV (as well as a few others) call the law our “schoolmaster” in Galatians 3:24. A schoolmaster was a male servant who was responsible for guiding boys into manhood…. basically a role model. So these verses are saying that the law was our guide to The Messiah and now we no longer need that guide, because HE is now our role model. If we follow Him, we will be following the law. We were given a physical example of the written law…. “The word made flesh.”

Unfortunately, people are not following him.
