When God said "REMEMBER".......

When God said "REMEMBER".......
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: in it thou shalt not do any work....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. EXODUS 20:8-11

To those who reject the Sabbath because the Jews kept it

"When God had made the world in six days, He rested from His work on the seventh day, and thus the seventh day became His rest-day, or Sabbath day.
He then "blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it ; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made." Gen. 2 : 1-3 ; Ex. 20 : 8-11.

Thus the seventh day became God's blessed and sanctified rest-day, 
or Sabbath day, and a memorial of His rest from His works.
--It will not do to call the Sabbath Jewish, and give it to the Jews, simply because the Jews kept it.
--The Jews had the same God that we have,
--and looked forward to the same Messiah that we believe in.
--Christ and the apostles were Jews.
--Our Bible comes from the Jews.
The advantage of the Jews was " much every way ; chiefly because that to them were committed the oracles of God" (Rom. 3: 1, 2), i. e., what God spoke or delivered orally, the ten commandments. (See Webster's definitions of oracle and oral.) Acts 7:38 ; Deut. 4:8- 13
In short, the Savior says, "Salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22.
Q: Shall we reject these blessings simply because the Jews enjoyed them?"
D. T. Bourdeau
