What Is the Lord's Day?

What Is the Lord's Day?—What should settle the question of the Lord's day but the Lord's Word? Should we go to the word of fallible man to learn what the Lord's day is when the Lord has told us in His own Word? Well, reader, do you wish to know? Here is the answer, from three different witnesses; the Spirit of Christ, speaking through Isaiah (1 Peter 1:11) says: "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; . . . then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord." Isa. 58:13, 14. The Lord's holy day is therefore the Sabbath. But what day is the Sabbath?—"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Ex. 20:8–10. Thus speaks the Lord's holy law. But one testimony more, the words of Jesus: "For the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath." Mark 2:28. Therefore, according to the Word of the Lord, the seventh-day Sabbath is the Lord's day. "Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil." Jesus Christ, who lived God's life in the flesh, says, "Follow Me." Surely there is no mistake in walking as He walked, in living His life.
