In this first of two presentations about the meaning and value of the Sabbath day of rest, established by Jesus right after He had created man, Pastor Bohr shows how God blessed it and gave us this weekly holy period of quality time to spend nurturing our relationship with Him and to reflect on all He has done in creating the beautiful natural world around us for us to enjoy. He shows how it was kept by Jesus, the apostles and all the Christians in the New Testament and has not been lost in time or made invalid by Christ's death on the cross. He answers various reasons and excuses many Christians give to avoid keeping it because they think it cramps their time and lifestyle.

Even though the Fourth Commandment was given in written form on tables of stone to the Jews at Sinai in establishing the laws of that chosen nation of people from whom the Messiah would spring from, it was not intended just for them, as many think today, but its wording points back to creation as its authority, when the Sabbath, like marriage, was first given as a gift by God to Adam and Eve for every man and woman who would descend from them. It was established before there was any sin or sacrifices and ceremonial laws. Its original purpose was to give men a break from their everyday activities, to spend time in rest and loving fellowship with God and to forever remind them that He is the only Creator and Sustainer of the universe and has exclusive right to their worship and loyalty, so that they would not to fall into the trap satan did of thinking himself his own god and rule maker.

Adam and Eve sinned when they doubted the authority and requirements of their Creator and wondered if satan was right in saying that they themselves were equal with God and didn't need to follow His rules. They had not seen God create them and therefore by faith were to take Him at His Word that He had, but they ended up choosing to believe another master and had to learn the hard way what deception, pride and living by ones own rules does to man.

This subject is of great importance, because by keeping His Sabbath day the way that He has specified, we confess that Jesus Christ is our Creator, Redeemer and Authority and we also proclaim to the world that sin is doubting that He is our Creator, Redeemer and Lawgiver. These are the very issues at stake in the whole history of the great controversy between Christ and satan. It is a matter of showing faith in God's Word versus our own works, laws and standards. We thus proclaim that we are created beings and not evolved from a big bang or some other means from eons past.
