The Sabbath in the Bible

By A. H. Lewis, D. D.

OUR readers who desire to see the Sabbath as it appears in the Bible will be aided by the following references. These can be followed easily: they show how the Sabbath, like a thread of gold, runs through the Book. It is better to know just what the Bible teaches than to know what men say about it. One of the most important features of this picture is seen in what Jesus, the Christ of God, said and did about the Sabbath. His authority as teacher, interpreter, and guide, ought to settle any questions that may arise in the minds of those who follow him. We ought to rejoice in following Christ who is “Lord of the Sabbath” and “Head of the church:” —
