Christ’s Injunction to Keep Sabbath
By Editor
As reported in the Los Angeles Tribune of May 23, Dr. Cantine (Methodist), of that city, said in a recent sermon that “Christ laid an injunction upon the disciples to keep the seventh day of the week, but after Christ’s resurrection the disciples met on the first day, and Christ countenanced it, and it became the established day for worship.” Yes, we believe that Christ did enjoin the keeping of the seventh day, for he taught all to keep the commandments of God. But we do not believe that the disciples immediately disobeyed the commands of their Master, and instead of keeping the seventh day kept the first. At all events, we would like a few Scripture references on this point, before receiving Mr. Cantine’s statement as beyond question.
