We must rest on Saturday or Sunday? Gospel message


1 Now the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to go and anoint him.2 And on the first day of the week, went to the tomb very early, at sunrise.3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?4 But, looking up, saw that the stone, which was very large, was rolled away;5 And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right, dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened. - Mark 16:1 to 5

Our Lord Jesus Christ died Friday afternoon on the eve of the Sabbath as we all know that is the Lord's day. I think everyone also agrees that, that day our God and Father, if He willed, He could have raised the Lord Jesus at the same time or maybe the next day on Saturday. Why is it that he did not?
I do not know! ... You know?
But one thing we all know: the word of our God provides for us many revelations about the unchanging nature of our God:He abideth faithful: he can not deny himself. - 2 Timothy 2:13For I the Lord do not change - Malachi 3:6
Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away. - Matthew 24:35The Almighty God, the great Creator of the universe never changes. It is the same yesterday, today is the same, and will be the same forever. Our God is a God of two weights and two measures. Our Lord Almighty has two words and behavior, much less two.
While there at the top of the sacred mountain the Lord God gave Moses the arms of their laws, especially laws that were written with the finger glory of the Lord, He gave Moses and also to all of us something very special.He did not give us tougher laws and other casts or only serve to imprison us. No! He gave us blessed laws, laws that translate all your love for all men, laws that any human being who truly loves his Creator, could fulfill without difficulty and were specially made to give the human being, contrary to what many think, a better quality of life and liberty.
Therefore, in one of his wonderful commandments, He said:

9 Six days you shall labor and do all thy work;10 but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. On that day thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. - Exodus 20 9-11
This command is special. In presenting him the wonderful blessings of the Lord for the lives of those who obey him, he also comes to show us that our God cares for us and He wants to do us good.The Lord wants us to be. He wants to talk to us. He wants to hear. He wants to know what goes on in our lives, He wants to know of our difficulties, our problems, our sorrows, successes, joys, happiness ... He wants to know us. He wants to know how we are. For this he set aside a special day so we could be with Him
And what do we do?
Let's go shopping;Let's do business,We will sell goods;We will work ...
Let's do a lot of things and we forget to talk to our great blessed. Just on him. Just the day He separated to sanctify us, purify us and bless us.Just on Saturday.
Are we doing the right thing?
I'm sure not.
You and I are larger by chance or better that our Lord God?
I'm not!
Are you?
How so? I do not understand.
Yeah!
When we do not separate the Sabbath to worship our God, when we work on Saturday when we were chasing our interests on the Sabbath day, when we observe human commandments and did not observe the Lord's word, in fact, we are disregarding our God love, we're telling him that his word and that he himself is not important for us nor for our lives. We are telling him that we are self-sufficient and not need the blessing of Him.
It is serious?
1 Thus were finished the heavens and earth, with all his army.2 Now when the seventh day God finished the work he had done, that day he rested from all his work he had done.3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it he rested from all his work which God created and made. - Gen. 2: 1-3

Exactly!
Our own God rested on the seventh day on Saturday, shortly after doing all the work of Him.When you do not follow the example of our God and Lord and not obey we are telling him that we are better than him, that we are wiser, we are independent, we are stronger, they can not get enough, we do not need to stop, or even that stopped only to please men, who only stopped when it concerns us or when it pleases us. And not when the Lord God asks of us.
Let's think of it fondly!

Stay in the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
