 It may surprise you to discover that Jesus was summarizing the law as given in the Old Testament. Deut. 6:5 declares "Love the Lord your God with all your heart." Lev. 19:18 adds, "Love your neighbor as yourself." The God of the Old Testament was a God of everlasting love (Jer. 31:3). In Matt. 22:40, Jesus declared, "On these two commands (love to God and fellow man) hang all the laws and the prophets." The first four commandments reveal how human beings tangibly demonstrate their love to their to God. The last six commandments show how they demonstrate their love to their fellow man. "Jesus did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it" (Matt. 5:17). He revealed how to lovingly keep the law. He came to magnify the meaning of the law (Isa. 42:21). Jesus reveals how love is the fulfilling of the law (Rom. 13:10). He adds "Ifyou love me, keep my commandments" (Jn. 14:15).

 **Since Paul declares "Let no one judge you regarding the Bible Sabbath," isn't Sabbath-keeping unnecessary (Col.2:16,17)?**
 
-This passage, Col. 2:16,17 is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. One principle of Bible interpretation is that you do not allow what may be somewhat unclear to keep you from doing what you understand. The Bible is plain on the Sabbath. It was given at creation (Gen. 2:1-3). Jesus observed it (Lk. 4:16). Paul observed it (Acts 13:42-44), and it will be observed in heaven (Isa. 66:22,23). The Bible mentions two kinds of sabbaths. The seventh-day Sabbath and the yearly sabbaths. The seventh-day Sabbath, instituted at creation and part of the Ten Commandment law, is a weekly reminder of the loving, all-powerful Creator. The yearly Sabbath relates specifically to the history of Israel. Col. 2:16,17 specifically states "Let no one judge you regarding sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come." The seventh-day Sabbath is a memorial of creation not a shadow of something to come. Heb. 10:1 connects the law of shadows with animal sacrifice. Ezek. 45:17 uses the exact same expressions in the exact same order as Col. 2:16,17 and connects it all with the ceremonial systems of feasts and sacrifices (meat offerings, drink offerings, feasts, new moons, and sabbaths to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. Lev.23:3 discusses the Seventh-day Sabbath. Lev. 23:5-32 discusses the ceremonial sabbaths (passover, verse 5; unleavened bread, verse 6; wave sheaf, verse 10; first fruits, verse 17;trumpets, verse 24; Day of atonement, verses 27-32; tabernacles, verses 34-36). Both the feast of trumpets (verse 24), and the Day of Atonement (verse 32) are specifically called sabbaths.   These annual sabbaths were intimately connected to events foreshadowing Christ's death and His Second Coming. They were designed by God to be shadows or pointers to the coming Messiah. Lev. 23:37 uses the language of Col.2:16,17 to describe these ceremonial sabbaths. Lev. 23:38 distinguishes the ceremonial sabbaths from the seventh-day Sabbaths by using the expression "Beside the sabbaths of the Lord." Since Christ has come, the shadowy sabbaths of the ceremonial law have found their fulfillment in Him. The seventh-day Sabbath continues to lead us back to the Creator God who made us. God's people will keep it as a distinguishing sign of their relationship to Him (Rev. 14:12, Ezek. 20:12,20).

 Sometimes it's helpful to carefully notice what a Bible text does not say as well as what it does say. Verses 5 and 6 say nothing about either worship or the Sabbath. They simply talk about regarding a day. To say this particular day is the Sabbath is an unwarranted assumption. Rom. 14:1 sets the tone for the entire passage indicating that the discussion focuses on "doubtful disputations" or disputes on doubtful matters. Is the seventh-day Sabbath set apart by God at creation (Gen. 2:1-3) placed within the heart of the moral law (Ex.20:8-11) a doubtful matter? Certainly not! The key to our passage is found in verse 6 which states, "He that regards the day regards it unto the Lord, and he that regardeth not the day regards it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord for He giveth God thanks, and he that eateth not to the Lord, he eateth not for he giveth God thanks." The issue revolved around fast days not Sabbath days. Some Jewish Christians believed there was particular merit in fasting on certain days. They judged others by their own standards. The Pharisees fasted at least twice a week and boasted about it (Lk. 18:12). In Rom. 14, Paul is pointing out that to fast or not to fast on a certain day is a matter ofindividual conscience, not a matter of God's command.

 **Can we really tell which day the Seventh-day is?**
 
-There are at least four ways which we can tell for certain that Saturday is the Seventh-day: 1. The Bible clearly reveals that Jesus was crucified on the preparation day (Lk. 23:54). His closest followers rested as commanded the Sabbath day (Lk. 24:55,56) and Jesus rose from the dead the first day (Lk. 24:1, Mk. 16:9). Most Christians recognize Jesus died on Friday the preparation day, He rested the next day and rose the first day Sunday. The Sabbath is the day between Friday and Sunday or the seventh-day-Saturday. 2. Language: In over 140 languages in the world, the word for the Seventh-day which we call Saturday is the word "Sabbath." Language testifies to the Sabbath's preservation through the centuries. 3. Astronomy: The leading astronomers in the world testify to the fact that the weekly cycle has never changed. Centers like the Royal Naval Observatory in the U.S. and The Royal Greenwich Observatory in England affirm the fact of a constant weekly cycle. 4. History: The Jewish people have kept an accurate record of the Sabbath through the centuries. For over 4,000 years, they have preserved the true Sabbath on Saturday.
