The Sabbath Began at Creation
By Editor
A CORRESPONDENT of the Christian Standard says: "My conviction is that the Sabbath began at creation. It would be just as reasonable to say that the Lord's day began two thousand years after Christ's resurrection as to say the Sabbath began two thousand years after creation." That man's conviction is sound, but it should lead him a little farther. Why did the Sabbath begin at creation? The answer must be because it commemorated the finished work of creation. Then why should the Sabbath ever cease? Is it not as necessary for us to remember God's power and goodness as it was for Adam? It certainly is. "But ought we not to commemorate Christ's resurrection?" Most certainly; but we should do so in the divinely appointed way—by Christian baptism. That, and that alone, can fitly show our faith in the resurrection of our Lord.
