“That Old Jewish Sabbath”

By Leslie Littell

LESLIE LITTELL.
When we present the claims of the Sabbath, many say, “We do not have to keep that old Jewish Sabbath.” They reject the Sabbath because they think it is a Jewish Sabbath.
The Bible was written by the Jews. Why not reject it because it is a Jewish Bible?
Jesus was a Jew. Why not reject him because he is a Jewish Saviour?
Jesus says, “Salvation is of the Jews.” Why not reject it because it is a Jewish salvation?
The New Jerusalem will have twelve gates named after Jewish tribes. Why not refuse to go into that beautiful city because you have to go through Jewish gates?
None but true Israelites will ever inhabit the new earth. Why not refuse to become an inhabitant of that beautiful world because it necessitates your becoming a true Israelite?
Jesus is to be King of that world. Why not refuse to have him to be king over you because he will be a Jewish King?
May the Lord change us so that we shall be true Israelites indeed and in truth.
