Well I got no replies when you spam-posted this in the general forum so here is my reply again.
Pretty sure the Bible says that CHRIST is the(now) the sabbath and not some particular day of the week.
Hebrews 4speaks of Jesus as our Sabbath rest. Verses 9-10 in particular state, "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." How is Jesus our Sabbath rest?
The key to understanding how Jesus is our Sabbath rest is understanding what the Sabbath means. The Hebrew wordshabatwas the word "rest" in the Old Testament first used in regard to God "resting" from creation on the seventh day. The Sabbath would later become part of the Law of Moses, referring to the Sabbath day, Saturday, upon which the Jewish people were to do no work.
In the New Testament, Jesus declared Himself "lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). He equated Himself with God the Father, becoming God in human form. In addition, Jesus declared, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27).
InHebrews 3and4, the author developed the concept of Jesus as our Sabbath rest, revealing how a relationship with Christ frees humans from the works of the law and allows a person to rest in the work of Christ to forgive sin. Ultimately, those who believe in Jesus will spend eternity in a "Sabbath rest" with Him (Hebrews 4:9).
Jesus serves as our Sabbath rest in the sense that He provides freedom from living under the works of the law. Instead, His sacrifice has paid the price for our salvation. We accept salvation as His free gift, entering into His rest both now as well as in eternity in His presence.
Hebrews 4ends with words of comfort for those who enter God's Sabbath rest: "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). As a result of Christ's finished work, we can confidently come before God, receiving mercy and grace in our time of need.
So what did Jesus think of a particular Sabbath day? he seems to be pretty busy on Saturdays.
Matthew 12:2But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.” Mark 2:24The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” Luke 6:2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” Matthew 12:5Verse ConceptsOr have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?John 5:10 So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.” Luke 13:14But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Matthew 12:10And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. Luke 14:3 And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” Mark 3:2They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. Luke 6:7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. John 5:9 Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.Now it was the Sabbath on that day. John 5:16For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. John 9:14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. John 5:18 For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. John 9:16Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them. Mark 3:4And He *said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. Luke 6:9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” Matthew 12:11And He said to them, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? Luke 13:15But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him? Luke 14:5 And He said to them, “Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”John 7:23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? Matthew 12:12 How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Matthew 12:8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Luke 6:5 And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Colossians 2:16Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—
