The Sabbath Made for All Mankind

The commandment of the Sabbath, as given by God from Mt. Sinai, is based upon that which concerns man universally; namely, the creation of the heavens and the earth. The earth was created, not for the Jews alone, nor for any other one race, but for all men; therefore the Sabbath was made for the whole of mankind. Hence also our Saviour’s words, “The Sabbath was made for man.” The obligation of the Sabbath rests upon all who live upon the earth. This conclusion is unavoidable.
