At the PJ Class last night, the level of discussion was one of great excitement. The study focused on the passage of John 5:8-30. It was about Jesus being the “Lord of the Sabbath” The thrust of the discussion was what is the “Sabbath” in our generation and how should the church and Christians keep this? At the same time not wanting to create traditions that would one day become a burden to us and our children.

In the lecture that was given, our teaching director, expounded on the authority of Christ, his ability to explain to his accusers and the abundance of grace on the part of God in dealing with men determines the supremacy of the Son of God. The apostle John strongly points to the insufficiency of the Law with the coming of Christ. The law was always suppose to be a guide or a sign post. Thus Christ comes as the fulfillment of the law.

So the Sabbath was made for man and Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Thus, as Christians and the church, we need to find ways to honor God on the Sabbath. One way is to be doing what the Father wants to be done. Giving Sunday back to God.
