The Sabbath Day (Friday dusk to Saturday dusk) is in the Ten Commandments. God did say to "Honor it and keep it Holy". Jesus could not have done away with it because it is the fourth commandment. What does it mean to you?

Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses and put into place the Law of Grace. Because of the misunderstanding about the Sabbath, in Jesus time people basically enslaved themselves to obeying it, not realizing that the Sabbath was a gift to us from God and never intended to be something regimental. Which day you choose to rest from your work and worship God doesn't really matter so long as there is one. I wish I could convince some 7th Day Adventists of this, but they insist on enslaving themselves, even though their bonds have been broken. C'est la vie.

I am guilty of not keeping the Sabbath day holy. Most of my life I have been confused on if it's Saturday or Sunday. Deep in my heart I believed it is Saturday. I wish that I could keep up with that commandment. Unfortunetly, many businesses make 3/4 of the population work on weekends. It seems that only white collar can keep it holy. I wish we could have God come down and declare for the whole nation that we have to do it no matter what. I'd get a weekend off and I would get to see my son.

Jesus said "I am the Lord of the Sabbath." He healed the man with the crippled hand on the Sabbath. Jesus didn't change the commandments, and it is important to observe the sabbath. It doesn't have to be From dusk on Friday to dusk on Saturday, but we should take a day out of every week for reflection and worship of God.

My answer would depend on which sabbath you have in mind. Did you know that the Bible tells about more than one sabbath? . . . God gave sabbath laws to the Jews. But did you know that the Bible speaks of a different kind of sabbath that Christians are to keep?
We do not keep one day a week as the Sabbath because the Bible says that requirement “was to be done away with.” (2 Cor. 3:7-11) (Ephesians 2:15)
But there is a sabbath that we should keep regularly. (Heb. 4:4-11)

a million. The sabbath became an afternoon of relax, and not an afternoon of communal worship and prayer. The sabbath requirement is placed in the confines of the previous covenant. Christians are actually not a occasion to the previous covenant, and that covenant ended, replaced by making use of the hot covenant regulation of religion (Rom 3:27). 2. Sunday became a handy day for all Christians, the two Jews and Gentiles, to hold mutually mutually for communal worship and prayer, seeing because of the fact the Jewish Christians persisted conserving maximum of the OC rules, which comprise the sabbath the day formerly. .

if you think about it, Jesus Himself even rested on the Sabbath. He was crucified on a Friday, and rose on the third day (not 3 days later like some people think for some reason). By the way the jews counted their days though, this would have been a three day period. He could have risen on the next day (the Sabbath, or Saturday, not sunday like people think. Sunday is the 1st day of the week, SATURDAY is the seventh.) but He waited til the third day. He RESTED. He kept the sabbath

Many people don't think so, Shalei but:
Jesus said whoever keeps and teaches others will be great in the Kingdom. People wrestle the writings of Paul, as Peter says, "to their own destruction."
Please notice that those who intentionally twist the scriptures, it is to their DESTRUCTION. That tells me all God's commandments are important.
The texts that show the Sabbath is eternally valid, is when Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man. When was it made? In Eden, for Adam, Eve, and all their descendants--that's us.
And Isaiah 66:23 confirms it will be kept for eternity: "And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."
The law was changed by, what Jesus called "the Abomination of Desolation." And a last-day Bible code identifies the culprit. Select http://abiblecode.tripod.com
Blessings and happy Sabbath, Balaam

Yes, we are to keep the 7th day Sabbath holy still since God set it apart and made it holy at creation and never said to change that day. Genesis 2:1-3

Jesus FULFILLED the law including the Sabbath commandment. Now any day and every day is the right day to worship the Lord. GBY!
