The Sabbath Restored Part 2 Site 10
Narrative for Site 10 on the Sabbath Trail
by Pastor Merlin Knowles
In Christ's very first miracle on the Sabbath day, He demonstrated what is appropriate on the Sabbath. In no way was He breaking the Sabbath, rather He was helping people to understand what Sabbath keeping was all about. It was all about restoring, it was all about lifting up humanity. Sabbath actually became not only a symbol of creation in the beginning, as we worship God, our creator God on the Sabbath, but as He delivered the Israelites from Egypt, it became a symbol of redemption, and so Christ was reminding and taking the people back to show them that the Sabbath was all about bringing people to wholeness and oneness with Him again.
