The Advent Truth.
People often say, “You can’t find the Sabbath in the New Testament.”

Really?

The New Testament begins with Jesus keeping the Sabbath (Luke 4:16) and ends with God’s last-day people “keeping the commandments of God” (Revelation 14:12). Somewhere in the middle, we’re told the Sabbath disappeared? Where?

Jesus never said the Sabbath was abolished. In fact, He declared Himself “Lord also of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28), not Lord over its destruction. He said He did not come to destroy the law (Matthew 5:17-19), and He even told His disciples to pray that their flight from Jerusalem—nearly 40 years after His resurrection—would not be on the Sabbath (Matthew 24:20). Why would He say that if the Sabbath was about to become irrelevant?

Then look at the apostles. Paul preached on the Sabbath so consistently that Gentiles asked him to return “the next sabbath” (Acts 13:42-44). If Sunday had replaced the Sabbath, why not simply tell them to gather the next day?

And then there’s Hebrews 4:9. The King James says, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” The Greek word is sabbatismos, meaning “Sabbath keeping” or “Sabbath observance.” The author points directly back to God’s rest at Creation in Genesis 2—not to a new holy day.

The problem isn’t that the Sabbath can’t be found in the New Testament. The problem is that many have been taught not to see it.

So here’s a simple challenge:

Show one verse where Jesus, or any apostle, says the seventh-day Sabbath has been replaced by Sunday.

Not an assumption.
Not a church tradition.
Not an inference.

Just one clear command.

If that verse doesn’t exist, maybe it’s time to ask whether we’ve been defending tradition instead of Scripture.
