The Sabbath was very important in Old Testament Israel. Sabbath-keeping was one of the Ten Commandments, and God’s prophets continually called the Jews to honor God’s holy day of rest. But then Christ came, and much of the Old Testament law passed away. But what about the Sabbath? Did it fade away along with dietary laws, the sacrificial system, and other "shadows" that pointed toward Christ, or does the Sabbath still have something of value for New Testament believers?
This brief book surveys the Old and New Testaments to sketch a picture of what the Sabbath was and is. Through five short, readable chapters, we’ll build an understanding of the place of the Sabbath in God’s plans and see that the Sabbath does indeed still offer us both a command and a gift.
