Like a car, we can't be all accelerator and no brakes or we'll be out of control and will ultimately crash. The Sabbath principle is the brakes that our creator has built into our lives to keep that from happening. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Accelerators-Without-Brakes-4153 2008-08-18T14:02:06-05:00 Jesus is, of course, referring to God's command to have a weekly sabbath - a day that is "for the Lord your God," according to the Ten Commandments. "On it you shall not do any work." (Exodus 20:10) Now, I know some Christians debate which day should be the Sabbath; please don't send me letters and booklets and verses about that - a lot of folks already have!

In the Old Testament, God told his people to celebrate Sabbath days (the seventh day of the week and other holidays). http://sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=1341 2008-01-09T09:35:00-05:00 LAST Sabbath morning we addressed you upon the gracious operations of the Holy Spirit in the believer, and upon the glorious fad of his dwelling in the hearts of the regenerate. Now, it frequently happens that when we discourse upon the work of the Holy Spirit, there are... http://70030.netministry.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=34808&columnid=3803 2007-11-05T19:14:26-05:00 Jesus is Lord over the Sabbath! The religious leaders were looking for another opportunity to put Jesus on the spot to try to prove He was a fake. So, Jesus gave them their chance and turned their condescending remarks into a testimony of His deity.
