Proof that Jesus Christ is the one Lord of the Sabbath (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11)

Luke 5:20, 21

We find another dimension that proves that Jesus is the Almighty God. The scribes and Pharisees understood from their study of the scriptures that only God could forgive sins. When Jesus forgave sins, it was felt that he was blaspheming because they reasoned that he was just a man, how could he forgive sins? What the scribes and Pharisees didn’t realize was that Jesus was God and he could forgive sins on earth (Matthew 9:6, Mark 2:10, Mark 2:5, 6-7). Neither did they understand Jesus’ purpose on earth. He was the fulfillment of the Law and he could forgive sins because he was Lord of the Sabbath the embodiment of the Ten Commandments. And he could forgive anyone who broke His Law.

Luke 6:5

The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath. This scripture shows us that God established the Sabbath. Therefore, Jesus was letting the Pharisees know that not only was he the Lord of the universe, but he was also the Lord of the Sabbath because he is the Sabbath. Only God himself could be the Lord of the Sabbath, therefore, Jesus is saying, I am the Lord God, I established the Sabbath.

In the Old Testament, there was a certain day of the week, chosen by God for the children of Israel to worship and reverence him. Jesus, who is the Sabbath, can be worshiped on any day of the week. Therefore, the days aren’t as important as the Sabbath which is Jesus Christ. Choose any day of the week for your Sabbath and celebrate that day as your Sabbath Day. Certainly this is not a violation of the scripture because the praise and worship of Jesus Christ will happen on the Sabbath Day that you choose.

Therefore, when the Lord says to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, this means we can choose to remember and reverence Jesus Christ on every day and any day because Jesus Christ is Lord of the Sabbath. There are some faiths that worship God on Saturdays and there are others that worship on Sundays. Both are correct, the days aren’t important. What’s important is that Jesus Christ is the Sabbath and we should worship him in the fullness of his glory.

The Jews worshipped God on Saturday because of their old testament teachings, not because it was necessary in the presence of Christ. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the Sabbath. The disciples had to realize within themselves that they knew who he was – The Lord of the Sabbath.
