Actually, it doesn't have to tell us to keep the sabbath day holy in the new testament. The old testament was clear enough.
The Book of Exodus chapter 31:13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.
Christians of today are grafted into the tree that is God's chosen of Israel. Jesus said, if you love me keep my commands. Jesus also said, upon love are the foundation of the prophets and the laws.
We know the sacrificial law is done away with because Jesus was the final sacrifice.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.(Sabbath=to rest, to cease)That means two things. It means that when Jesus was the Lord God who created the Sabbath day that we keep it holy across generations, He is also that Holy Spirit God in whom we have our rest, meaning while we are always in Christ, the Sabbath day that was made for us is what allows us to rest from the rigors of the world and find peace and communion with God.
The actual pointed counter to keeping the Sabbath would be, prove to us in the new testament where Jesus said the Sabbath is done away.
It does not exist. What does exist is Jesus telling us, if we love Him we will keep His commands.
The Book of 1st John chapter 3:
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[d] and God[e] in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
Jesus was asked: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments,".... (The Book of Matthew chapter 22:verses 36 to40 Amplified Version)
Why should anyone take issue with the Christian that honors the Sabbath day? (from sundown on Friday unto sundown Saturday)
Especially if the Christian goes to church on Sunday. What is that but an abrogation of the Sabbath itself.

Jesus, Yeshua, fulfills the law by His person, the Word. He teaches all to obey the law under grace as it remains after His firtst coming. He tells us to obey the law as it remains. He does not say the law saves anyone, however it taks a true ingrate to say after His agony on the Corss that obedience is no longer needed. This takes no ddeep thinking nor great leaps of knowledge from above. It is the nature of good children to obey their Father. Is it not?
If we wait, we should wait on Jesus, Yeshua, and He has not annulled the seventh day as given to us.
I would offer, keeping in mind there are two sides to a coin. .Satan the counterfeit would make it all as one. His serpent image on both sides. Taking away the faith principle. Can't see both sides of the coin without turning it over.
There is two kinds of keeping depends on what kind of Sabbath is in view ? . The Sabbath that comes by mixing faith according to the prescription (2 Corinthians 4:18) In what we see or hear.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
(1) The Sabbath of faith (believing as god works in us) or the other side . . the sabbath that was used in ceremonial laws as shadows or parables of the true the sabbath rest spoken of in Hebrew 4.
Hebrews 4;1-5 King James Version (KJV) Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 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. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
And (2) the ceremonial sabbath as a shadow (the other side of the coin) It was set aside as holy one day a week . Fasting, where mankind could share there manna with a neighbor. It is reckoned as the true fast .The gospel .It can be found in the whole chapter (Isaiah 58) set aside to define the kind of fast that could drive our demons as lying Spirits which the disciples could not . Again called the gospel fast
It is presented as a parable having "two different reasoning" needed to compare the spiritual unseen understanding (faith) to the same . Unlike the moral laws . . no reason is needed or given. the reason . . ."Thou shalt not"
Two witnesses are used that way throughout the scriptures.
( #1) And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5: 15
( #2) For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11
He hallowed it by giving us one day. A est from the work daily needed to maintain these bodies of death . A place where we could offer the true fast . Taking care of the worldly needs and sharing the Spirit of faith needed, the gospel.
The other Sabbath or side of the coin a person fast from their own works being yoked with Christ who works in us. with us every day, every hour, every minute. Today.
One time sentitive the other not. . . as long as today is still under the Sun
