Why Not Restore the Borrowed Clothing?
A RELIGIOUS contemporary, in an “Easter” lesson, presents for daily readings the following: “MON., Keep Sunday by resting, Ex. 16:5, 22-30.
TUES., By worship . . . . . . . . . . . . Ps. 92:1-15.
WED., Polluting the Sabbath . . . . .Isa. 56:2-7.
THURS., The reward of keeping . . . .Isa. 58:8-14.
FRI., Jesus kept the Sabbath . .Luke 13:10-17.
SAT., Hearing and teaching, Acts 13:27, 42-52.” Now every one of the scripture texts here cited are injunctions and promises with which God has invested one day and one day only; namely, the seventh day, the Sabbath. They have no application in any way to the first day of the week. They are stolen in toto to garb a day having no claim save erring tradition, which stands as a scripture day entirely naked of a shred of sanctity or holiness. Why not restore the divine garments to the rightful owner.
