Was the Sabbath abolished?
Should Christians observe the 4th commandment?
Or is it still in effect like the other 9 commandments?
Please respond with biblical evidence
What did JESUS do on the day of sabbath, while the religious Jews who follow Moses rested?
Didn't JESUS answer them by saying, when they cautioned HIM about violating the day of Sabbath, that;
"My FATHER is always working, I too must work."
What does this teach Christians to do on the day of Sabbath, when the Jews bound by the Law rested?
Believe and do according to the Grace and Truth of the New Covenant, as how your MASTER did, in faith witnessing, righteousness that exceeds the ones of the Pharisees that JESUS gave.
Those who want to practice what the Jews of the Law of Moses practiced, then that person might as well be 'circumcised' as well.
Apostle Paul said about the bondage the Law of Moses, can cause to the 'flesh', that;
"If you obey one letter of the Law, you must obey all."
"If you disobey even to the least, you are under 'curse'."
Deliberately JESUS 'worked' on the Sabbath, the rest day for the Jews, for HE went into the temple and liberated the sick and lame Jews, and called them to walk freely.
To the Jews the Sabbath observance has become a 'tradition' of men, not knowing the true meaning of it. JESUS knew the full meaning of the Sabbath and practiced accordingly to GOD's will. That is why HE was able to boldly claim that;
"The SON of man is the LORD of/over the Sabbath."
That is why HIS righteousness teachings/words and practices exceeds the ones of the Pharisees, and therefore 'accomplished' the righteous requirement of the Law of GOD and nail them to the Cross.
And so we are called to 'practice' and 'abide' the same that is in 'the way', 'the truth' and 'the life' of the established and written New Covenant, and bear fruits and our fruits must 'abide', according to the 'liberating Law of CHRIST of the SPIRIT', 'liberating' from the 'carnality/fleshly', to SPIRIT/spiritual New Covenant sons and daughter of the 'Heavenly Jerusalem of Sarah.
As it is written, as a reminder and a stir up of memory that;
"To him who have ears, let him listen."
