Introduction 3.1

Paul said, "For we know that the law is spiritual" (Romans vii:14), and "For any things were written before were written for our learning." (Romans xv:iv). The scripture says, "the word of our God shall correspond ever" (Isaiah 40:viii), then even though we may non believe that nosotros should always go along every commandment of God literally, at that place must be something spiritual in them for us today. This is a bible study examining the instructions where we are told not to do something on the Sabbath 24-hour interval, and nosotros will be looking for the spiritual understanding that we are meant to fulfill.

#three.11 Do non do Our Own Work

EXODUS xx:8-10
8 Remember the Sabbath mean solar day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work:
x Only the 7th twenty-four hour period is the Sabbath of Yahweh your God; in it you shall not do any piece of work, you, nor your son, nor your girl, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your foreigner who is within your gates:

EXODUS 31:xv
15 Six days may work exist done; only in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to Yahweh: whoever does any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to expiry.

DEUTERONOMY 5:12-14
12 Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify information technology, as Yahweh your God has commanded you.
13 Six days you shall labor and practice all your piece of work:
xiv Only the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yahweh your God: in it you shall not practice any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your greenhorn who is inside your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may residue likewise every bit yous.

ISAIAH 58:13
13 If yous turn away your pes from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasance on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a please, the holy of Yahweh, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own means, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your ain words:

Notation: This commandment was taken literally in the days of Moses, and on one occasion a man was put to death for gathering sticks on the Sabbath twenty-four hours (Encounter #3.13), just Jesus showed that man demand was above the letter of the law, and on one occasion told a human being to take up his bed and walk on the Sabbath (John five:viii). Today we are still meant to do no work on the Sabbath twenty-four hour period, but whenever in that location is a conflict with the college commands of love and mercy, these overrule the command not to work. This Sabbath commandment has also a spiritual significance, and nosotros can run into several unlike kinds of works that we need to cease from in order to fulfill it, and enter into spiritual rest.

(1) End from our own works

(Hebrews 4:x) "For he who is entered into his remainder, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his."

(2) Cease from the works of the flesh

(Galatians 5:19) "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have too told you lot in time by, that those who exercise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

Every i of "the works of the flesh" are sin, and they are also referred to as "the sins of the flesh" (Colossians 2:11). This is why we must cease from them. In a spiritual sense, ceasing from the works of the flesh is putting away sin, and is similar to conveying no burden on the Sabbath day (Meet #3.15).

(three) Cease from the works of the law

(Galatians 2:16) "Knowing that a homo is non justified by the works of the police force, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, fifty-fifty we have believed in Jesus Christ, that nosotros might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh exist justified."
(Galatians 3:ten) "For as many every bit are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who does not proceed in all things which are written in the volume of the law to do them."

These "works of the law" included the animal sacrifices which were washed to comprehend sin under the law (Run into #four.04), and could never justify everyone in the sight of God. The body of Jesus Christ is the only acceptable offering for sin (Hebrews x:10).

(iv) Terminate from self righteousness

(Deuteronomy 6:25) "And information technology shall be our righteousness, if we observe to exercise all these commandments before Yahweh our God, every bit he has commanded united states."
(Isaiah 64:vi) "But nosotros are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness is  as filthy rags."

Self righteousness is the righteousness that comes through obedience to the letter of the Law in the flesh (Deuteronomy 6:25), [such as the animal sacrifices (See #4.25)] as was likewise confirmed past the apostle Paul.

(Philippians 3:9) "And exist found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law."

We must cease from all self righteousness in social club to be justified past the organized religion of Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16).

(5) End from dead works

(Hebrews 6:one) "allow us become on to perfection; not laying once more the foundation of repentance from expressionless works, and of faith toward God."

Dead works are the works that are done through the spiritual decease that exists in people (Romans 5:12; five:14; vii:24). It includes all sin, our own works, the works of the flesh, the works of the police force, and self righteousness. Ceasing from all of these types of work spiritually fulfils the commandment, "Merely the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yahweh your God; in it you shall not do any work," (Exodus 20:10).

#iii.12 Do not Cook or Get together Nutrient

EXODUS 16:22-23
22 And it came to pass, that on the 6th 24-hour interval they gathered twice as much bread, ii omers for 1 man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he said to them, This is that which Yahweh has said, Tomorrow is the balance of the holy Sabbath to Yahweh: broil that which you volition broil today, and boil that you will boil; and that which remains over lay up for y'all to be kept until the morning.

EXODUS 16:27-30
27 And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they institute none.
28 And Yahweh said to Moses, How long practice y'all refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 See, For Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives yous on the sixth day the bread of 2 days; every man of you abide in his place, permit no human get out of his identify on the seventh day.
30 Then the people rested on the seventh twenty-four hour period.

Annotation ane: God gave Israel instructions not to prepare nutrient on the Sabbath twenty-four hours, and then that food had to be cooked and prepared ready for the Sabbath, and all they had to do on the Sabbath was eat it. In a spiritual sense, preparing food is equivalent to rightly dividing the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15), and obtaining the truth from it. When we enter into true spiritual rest, all we will be doing with spiritual food is continually eating it.

(Joshua 1:8) "This book of the law shall not depart out of your oral fissure; merely you shall meditate in information technology twenty-four hour period and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall accept good success."
(Psalm 1:2) "Simply his delight is in the law of Yahweh; and in his constabulary he meditates day and nighttime."

An instance of this was Jesus, when he started his ministry, he had already obtained all the truth from God's word. He didn't accept to keep going back to written report the scriptures to become some more truth from it, all he had to do was continue on meditating information technology, and live it.

#iii.thirteen Do non Gather Sticks or Make a Fire

NUMBERS xv:32-36
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a homo that gathered sticks on the Sabbath solar day.
33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 And they put him nether guard considering it was non declared what should be done with him.
35 And Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall exist surely put to decease: all the congregation shall stone him with stones exterior the campsite.
36 And all the congregation brought him exterior the campsite, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as Yahweh allowable Moses.

EXODUS 35:iii
three Yous shall kindle no burn throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.

Note: Ane purpose of preparing a fire was to cook concrete nutrient, so this could exist seen every bit the same equally the previous section (Run across #iii.12 Note). Spiritually it matches up considering God's word is similar a fire: "Is not my word like as a fire? says Yahweh" (Jeremiah 23:29). So when nosotros enter into truthful residue, we will not be preparing God'due south word (the burn), by rightly dividing it (2 Timothy ii:15), that will take already been done. We will just be eating information technology (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:two).
Some other purpose of preparing a fire is to go along us warm. Spiritually we could see this every bit the burn down beingness the Holy Spirit, which sets us on burn down for God. John the Baptist said:

(Matthew 3:11) "I indeed baptize you lot with h2o to repentance: merely he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize y'all with the Holy Spirit, and with fire."

Jesus said to the church at Laodicea, "I would yous were cold or hot" (Revelation three:15), merely he really wanted them to be hot. To be hot for God is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and busily going well-nigh doing his volition. We won't have to work anything up in the mankind, trying to make it wait like something is happening when it isn't, nor will nosotros exist seeking to be filled with the Spirit, that is equivalent to preparing a burn. Nosotros will be spiritually on fire, and exist spiritually fulfilling the Sabbath commandment, "You shall kindle no fire ... on the Sabbath day" (Exodus 35:three).

#3.xiv Practice not Pluck the Ears of Corn?

MATTHEW 12:1-8
ane At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath 24-hour interval through the corn; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day.
3 Just he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread which was non lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, simply merely the priests?
five Or have y'all not read in the police force, how on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are clean-living?
6 But I say to you lot, That in this identify is ane greater than the temple.
7 But if yous had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of human is Lord even of the Sabbath day.

Note: Information technology was lawful to pluck the grain (Deuteronomy 23:24-25), but not on the Sabbath day. This was similar to gathering manna on the Sabbath day which was as well forbidden (Exodus 16:27-30), so they were literally breaking the letter of the law. However, Jesus showed them that human need came above the letter of the constabulary (Matthew 12:3-4; Marking 2:25-26), that mercy (attending to human demand) was better than sacrifice (sticking rigidly to the letter of the alphabet of the police) (Matthew 12:half dozen), and that his disciples were guiltless in the eyes of God (Matthew 12:7). Those who are aware of the spiritual meanings behind the constabulary, and it is spiritual (Romans 7:fourteen), are free from the chains of it, and in some cases we no longer have to keep it to the letter (See Introduction 3). In the natural sense, reaping is lawful on the Sabbath day for an individual when there is a great homo need, but as part of a secular task, or only to brand more money it would exist wrong. In a spiritual sense we can see this as the Harvest of souls.

(Luke 10:2) "Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is corking, merely the laborers are few: pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."
(John four:35) "Practise you not say, There are yet 4 months, and then comes harvest? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."

This and so shows us that evangelism, and winning souls for God, which is God's work and not our ain, is quite in order on the Sabbath twenty-four hours.

#three.15 Do not Behave any Burden

JEREMIAH 17:21-22
21 Thus says Yahweh; Take heed to yourselves, and conduct no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in past the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Nor conduct forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath solar day, nor practise you any work, but sanctify the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

Note: For the Jews this command was literal. When Jesus healed a human at the pool of Bethesda, he told him to accept upwards his bed and walk (John five:8). The man was immediately healed, and took up his bed as Jesus had allowable him, only then got into trouble with the Jews because it was confronting the letter of the alphabet of the law to carry it on the Sabbath solar day (John v:10). Nevertheless, it was not reverse to the spirit of the constabulary, otherwise information technology would have been wrong for Jesus to tell him to practice information technology. Jesus was interim in mercy towards the man by making sure that he did not lose it by leaving it backside. It cannot therefore be a sin to carry something on the Sabbath day, as long every bit we walk co-ordinate to the Spirit. So what spiritual significance is there in this scripture (Jeremiah 17:21-22) for u.s. today? Spiritually, the heavy burden with which nosotros are laden before we come to Jesus is sin.

(Psalm 38:four) "For my iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy brunt they are besides heavy for me."
(Isaiah i:4) "Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity."
(2 Timothy 3:half-dozen) "silly women laden with sins."

When we come up to Jesus this needs to exist laid bated, "let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us" (Hebrews 12:1), and then tin nosotros have his yoke upon united states (Matthew 11:29) and become yoked together with him. This will enable his spirit to work through us in order to fulfill God'due south will for our lives. Once we accept laid bated our sin, then we have spiritually fulfilled the Sabbath commandment, "bear no burden on the Sabbath mean solar day" (Jeremiah 17:21-22).

#3.sixteen Practise not Buy or Sell

NEHEMIAH 13:15-17
xv In those days I saw some treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, and bringing in sheaves, and lading donkeys; as as well vino, grapes, and figs, and all fashion of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath twenty-four hour period: and I testified against them in the 24-hour interval in which they sold food.
xvi At that place dwelt men of Tyre too in there, who brought fish, and all style of goods, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that yous do, and profane the Sabbath mean solar day?

NEHEMIAH ten:31
31 And if the people of the land brought any merchandise or food on the Sabbath day to sell, that nosotros would not buy it of them on the Sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the 7th year, and the extraction of every debt.

Note: Again, by the letter of the law it was a sin to purchase and sell on the Sabbath day. It was work for many people, and a lot of work was involved to enable them to do information technology. For example, they brought much food into Jerusalem to be able to sell information technology, but this involved a lot of human piece of work, and also work for the animals (Nehemiah 13:15). Anybody was supposed to residue on the Sabbath twenty-four hour period, even the animals (Exodus 20:10; Deuteronomy 5:14). We besides should not buy or sell anything on the Sabbath day except where the college commands of love, mercy, or justice overrule it. So what is the spiritual significance of this for united states of america today? What is information technology that we spiritually trade in, and exchange with others? Our business is doing God'south work, which still has to be washed on the Sabbath solar day (Come across #3.3). And so we can preach the gospel, teach God's word, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, bandage out demons, and do information technology all freely just every bit Jesus commanded, "freely y'all accept received, freely give" (Matthew x:8). When nosotros receive the knowledge and power to do information technology freely from God, together with our needs supplied (Matthew 6:31-33; Philippians four:19), and minister it freely, and so nosotros are fulfilling the Sabbath commandment not to buy or sell on the Sabbath 24-hour interval.

#3.17 Exercise not Do Our Own Ways, or Seek Our Own Pleasance

ISAIAH 58:13-xiv
13 If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and telephone call the Sabbath a please, the holy of Yahweh, honorable; and shall award him, non doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your ain words:
14 Then y'all shall please yourself in Yahweh; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the globe, and feed y'all with the heritage of Jacob your begetter: for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.

Annotation: Not doing our ain means, is the same equally not doing our ain works (See #3.eleven), but hither we are told non to practice or find our own pleasure as well.
Pleasure is likened to a thorn in the parable of the sower, which chokes the word, and it prevents us from going on to perfection (Luke 8:fourteen). The phrase, "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" (2 Timothy 3:4), shows that the pleasures of this life are competing with God for our affections, and we are told, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth" (Colossians three:2). Fifty-fifty Moses did this:

(Hebrews 11:24-26) "By organized religion Moses, when he came to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh'southward daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer illness with the people of God, than to savour the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the advantage.

Jesus has called us to a life of self-deprival.

(Matthew xvi:24) "Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man volition come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
(Mark eight:34) "Whoever will come up afterwards me, permit him deny himself, and take up his cantankerous, and follow me."
(Luke 9:23) "If whatsoever man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take upwards his cross daily, and follow me."

Satan'south gilt rule is to please ourselves, but Jesus requires usa to deny ourselves. When nosotros deny ourselves the pleasures of this life, and rather delight God as Jesus did (Matthew 3:17; John 8:29), and then we will exist spiritually fulfilling the command non to seek our ain pleasure on the Sabbath day.

#3.18 Do not Speak Our Own Words

ISAIAH 58:thirteen
13 If you turn abroad your human foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and telephone call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Yahweh, honorable; and shall award him, not doing your ain ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words.

Notation: Speaking but God's words was always God'south intention for his people, even in the Quondam Attestation:

(Joshua 1:viii) "This volume of the law shall non depart out of your mouth."

This meant that it should ever be in their mouth.

(Deuteronomy six:6-7) "And these words, which I control you this day, shall be in your heart:
And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when yous sit in your house, and when yous walk by the fashion, and when you lie down, and when you rise upward."

The New Covenant that the Begetter fabricated with Jesus was the same.

(Isaiah 59:21) "As for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh; My spirit that is upon you (Jesus), and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the oral cavity of your seed (the apostles), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (us who have been saved through the words of the apostles), says Yahweh, from now on and for ever."

Jesus kept this commandment perfectly, according to his own testimony he spoke only what the Father told him to say:

(John 8:28) "as my Father has taught me, I speak these things."
(John eight:38) "I speak that which I have seen with my Father."
(John 12:50) "whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak."
(John 14:10) "the words that I speak to yous I speak non of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works."

We accept the same instruction, considering if nosotros are a partakers of the New Covenant God'due south laws volition exist written in our centre (Hebrews 8:ten; 10:sixteen), and if Jesus lives in our center, as he should (Romans 8:9; ii Corinthians 13:5; Galatians 4:6), and so he will speak through us.

(Matthew 12:34) "out of the abundance of the heart the oral fissure speaks."
(Matthew 15:eighteen) "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart."

We are chosen to be like Jesus (Luke 6:40; Romans 8:29; i John 2:6), and when we are we will exist fulfilling this part of the Sabbath commandment, "nor speaking your own words" (Isaiah 58:13), every mean solar day of the week.
Another mode of fulfilling this commandment is to speak in tongues, as they did on the day of Pentecost, when "the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts ii:4). This is equivalent to praying "in the spirit" (Ephesians 6:18), which we are told to do frequently.
