We are blameless for not keeping the sabbath day because Jesus Christ is in us.
Let's look at Jesus sayings about why His disciples were blameless on gathering the corn on the sabbath day.
Matthew 12:1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.[SUP]2 [/SUP]But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.[SUP]3 [/SUP]But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;[SUP]4 [/SUP]How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?[SUP]5 [/SUP]Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?[SUP]6 [/SUP]But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.[SUP]7 [/SUP]But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.[SUP]8 [/SUP]For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Jesus had given TWO examples on how saints had DEFILED the sabbath day but they were blameless BECAUSE they were in the Temple. Then Jesus said that in this place where He was speaking, someone greater than the temple was here; meaning Jesus Christ, and that was why His disciples were blameless.
Here's why believers today are blameless for not keeping the sabbath day and thus defiling the sabbath day.
1 Corinthians 6:[SUP]19 [/SUP]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?[SUP]20 [/SUP]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
2 Corinthians 13:[SUP]5 [/SUP]Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
As saved believers, our bodies has become the Temple of the Holy Spirit and with Jesus Christ in us and with us always is why every believer is blameless for not keeping the sabbath day or any holy days.
