The Lord's Day

By H. A. Weaver

SOME contend that Christians are not to keep "the old Jewish Sabbath," but "the Lord's day." The expression "Lord's day" appears only once in the Bible. It is found in Rev. 1: 10; but as that scripture does not say which day of the week is the Lord's day, other scriptures must be consulted to learn what day the Lord claims as His. Ex. 20: 10 says, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." In Isa. 58: 13, He calls the Sabbath "My holy day." Finally, in the New Testament, Jesus Christ Himself says, "The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath." Mark 2: 28. Therefore, since the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, is the only day that God claims as His own, logically and scripturally it must follow that the Sabbath is "the Lord's day." H. A. WEAVER.
