Did you know?
Before Bethlehem, before Abraham, before the foundations of the earth were laid, Christ already was. He is the great I AM — eternal, divine, and one with the Father in the work of creation.

The Bible says, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3). The Sabbath is not merely a Jewish institution or a ceremonial symbol. It is rooted in creation itself. In six days God created the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; and on the seventh day He rested. Because of this, He blessed the Sabbath and sanctified it — setting it apart as holy.

Throughout Scripture the Sabbath is repeatedly called God’s day: “My holy day” (Isaiah 58:13), “the Sabbath of the LORD thy God” (Exodus 20:10), and “My Sabbaths” (Ezekiel 20:12).

So when Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath,” He was making a profound claim. He was not abolishing the Sabbath — He was identifying Himself as the divine Creator, claiming authority over the day that uniquely belongs to God.

The Sabbath stands as a memorial of creation, a weekly reminder that we are not products of chance, but the workmanship of God Himself. Every seventh day points back to the Creator-King who formed the earth by His power and redeemed humanity by His grace.

The issue was never whether Jesus replaced the Sabbath. The issue is whether we recognise who Jesus truly is. He is not merely a teacher or prophet. He is the Lord of the Sabbath — the eternal Creator clothed in human flesh.
