The Sabbath Made for Man

"The Sabbath was made for man," are the words of Jesus. The miracles and works of mercy which Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, performed on that day, signified how it should be used for man. And when He asked, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?" there could be, logically, but the answer, "To do good; to save life." And so Jesus said, "It is lawful [that is, according to law, the filling full of the law] to do good on the Sabbath day." It is not only a day of spiritual blessing, but a day of blessed service for God.
