The true Sabbath

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people." (Exo 31:12-14)

The Old is the New hidden... Let it be revealed: The Lord said "you must observe my Sabbaths" (you must believe in My Son, Jesus Christ). This will be a sign (the cross of the crucifixion) between Me and you for the generations to come (we are the generations), so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy (inputted His righteousness to you). Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you (Christ is holy). Anyone who desecrates (does not believe) it must be put to death (condemned); whoever does any work (trusting his own righteousness) on that day must be cut off from his people." The Sabbath is a shadow of thing to come, but the substance is in Christ. (Col 2:17)

Christ is the true Sabbath, the promised land, the finished work, the completed rest, the seventh day, the last one thousand years of heaven on earth. And there is only one way to get there... solely by Grace (His Son Jesus Christ) through faith (whoever believes), not that of yourselves (self righteousness); it is the gift of God (His love), not of works (by the law), lest anyone should boast.(Eph 2:8-9) Hear Him!
