The Lord’s Day, Not Man’s Day
SAYS one, "Whether we keep my day or your day, makes no difference." Very true. It does not make a particle of difference whether we keep my day or your day. God does not require us to keep any man's day, and therefore whether we keep yours or mine will not be taken into the account. No credit will be given in either case. But there is a day which the Lord claims as his own; it is his own property, and no man has any claim on it. See Ex. 20:8-10; Isa. 58:13. "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." This day the Lord calls "my holy day," and says, "In it thou shalt not do any work." Now whether we keep our day or the Lord's day makes a great deal of difference. Is not the point clear? Are you doing your own will or the will of God? This is a question worth considering.
