Question
Hello,
How are you today. I was wonderering since the Sabbath is on Saturday and God said that the Sabbath was a commandment to be kept forever. Then why do Christians worship on Sunday when even Jesus himself kept the Sabbath. From a newborn in the Lord. Thank you very much.
The Jewish sabbath is on Saturday; the Christian "sabbath" is on Sunday. Jesus was a Jew, and he practiced the religious traditions of his faith. Christians keep the Sabbath on Sunday because it is the day upon which the Lord was raised from the dead.
