Yahweh’s Sabbath has been observed for thousands of years. His Sabbath is observed on the seventh day of the week, not on the first day. (For an explanation of why it is the seventh day of the week and not Sunday as Christianity teaches, please see our article titled “Yahweh’s Sabbath.”)

But truly understanding the Sabbath is a continual learning process. No one has all the answers about it. Questions continue to arise regarding what an individual may or may not do on that day. But the answers should come only from Yahweh’s Word, not from personal opinions or others’ traditions. Consider these questions while reading through the Scriptures that will follow.

QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION

1. What does Scripture say about the Sabbath? And what does it not say?
2. Are there other times or days to observe in addition to the weekly Sabbath?
3. How do instructions for the weekly Sabbath compare to those for the annual Sabbaths?
4. Is it okay to spend money, shop, or eat out on the Sabbath?
5. What limitations are placed on our activities for the Sabbaths? What can we do?
6. Is it okay to have someone work for you on the Sabbath? What if they volunteer and are not paid?
7. Are there things presently in our individual Sabbath routines that might need reconsideration?
8. What about a housewife’s duties, such as preparing meals?

…SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH…

In our desire to get closer to Yahweh, we continue to search His Word and often we see things we did not see before. Yahweh did not give us all understanding at once — our human minds could not have grasped it. But as we seek, He gives us a little more. When He sees that we are willing to change and follow Him wherever He leads, He blesses us with deeper understanding. The cycle goes on. The time has come to review Passover in both the Old and New Testaments.

Have you ever noticed that different groups observe the Passover at different times? Sometimes a month or so apart? And they don’t necessarily do it at the same time as the Jews. Other churches observe what they call the Lord’s Supper as often as monthly. How do you know when the right time is? Is it observed with unleavened bread and wine? Or crackers and grape juice? Or with a Seder meal? What about the Night to be Much Observed? Is that a separate celebration? A different evening? How does it fit into the scheme of things? So, who is right? They can’t all be. We will look at some of these points, but by no means will all questions be answered.

The first instance of Passover is in the book of Exodus. The children of Israel had been in slavery in Egypt for a long time. Using Moses as a human leader, Yahweh had the people begin making preparations for freedom. He was going to show them who He was and the power He had.

This year was a challenge and a joy with the new tent of meeting our congregation used to make this a more memorable Feast and ever closer to what Yahweh intended as a reminder of how the Israelites lived for 40 years. Though we may not make use of the tent every year, we will not give up trying to follow Yahweh’s commands and what He wants for us to learn and understand, all while rejoicing before Him.
