think about it from a spiritual point of view my sister... do you honestly believe that keeping a day will give us complete rest for our souls? Jesus said Matthew 11:28-30
King James Version (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
do you honestlly believe with your heart... that this rest he is talking about is just a day rest.. you do know that our souls know they are destined to destructions, if Jesus said he is the Rest and he will give us that rest why won't you go to God for that resting? instead of relying on your understands of things instead of letting God give you the rest
listen careful now at this scripture please.
Hebrews 4:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
do you see it? they THAT BELIEVED upon the LORD ENTERS REST did it say so or not
Look at this
Hebrews 4:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
oh my...... why did they NOT ENTER REST? because of UNBELIEF! do you not see the rest that is being discussed here
It's not a matter of one type of "rest" vs. another "rest". Both have merit and are applicable to us today.
Our Salvation through Yeshua's life, death and resurrection provide an eternal rest from our fleshly nature.
A physical keeping of the Sabbath day gives us physical and spiritual rest during the week.
The 2 aren't in opposition to each other unless you try to make them be in opposition.
Also, just because there isn't a command in the NT to keep the Sabbath doesn't mean we're not to do it. From the beginning of time, God spoke to His people and laid out wisdom, truth and life for ALL of His people. The same God that wrote and inspired all of the OT is the same Jesus and Holy Spirit that wrote the NT. The same God, the same message. Jesus clarified many things that needed clarification. He took truths to a deeper level where they needed to be. If He didn't expand on it in the NT, then it didn't need to be expanded on. So, God told His people to keep the Sabbath forever. Jesus saw no reason to discount that command or to change it.
Again, the physical keeping of a Sabbath day doesn't come in conflict with the rest Jesus provides. I've kept a physical Sabbath every week for the last 8 years. It certainly doesn't discount what my Savior did for me.
