The Sabbath and the Lord's Day

God did two really big things that he set aside days of the week to commemorate. He created the earth and set aside the last day of the week, the Sabbath day, to celebrate that event. He set rules for how to celebrate the Sabbath day and punishment (death) for violating those rules.

The other huge thing God did was to give up his only son as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind and set up the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, to celebrate that event. Like the Sabbath day there are rules and punishments for not believing in Jesus Christ and not celebrating his day.

The Sabbath day commemorates God’s creation of earth and all its peoples. The Lord’s Day commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let’s not forget either day.
