Jesus: Lord of the Sabbath
Matthew 12:1-14
The Sabbath: Jesus observed the Sabbath. The Sabbath is one of the holiest Jewish institutions. It is a solemn covenant between God and Israel. The Sabbath was meant to be a day of blessing and Joy. It guaranteed that a worker would get at least one day off. It assured that the family would spend one whole day together. But its main purpose was for a day of worship.

4. The Apostles gathered for worship on Sunday. (Acts 20:7)
5. It’s when they celebrated the Lord’s Supper. (Acts 20:7)
6. Early believers gathered for service that day (1 Cor 16:2)
7. The Apostle John called this day “The ______ Day” (Rev 1)
8. 1st and 2nd century believer’s testimony confirms it
"From the beginning, Christians assembled on the first day."
Let me tell you of the chief application of the Sabbath for today. The Christian’s Sabbath is a rest from you works. The real Sabbath rest is not a system of days, works or regulations… it is simply resting from your works and trusting Jesus Christ by faith to save you. Only when the Good news of Jesus death, burial and resurrection is mixed with faith does it result in blessed rest.
