Comment on Christians and the Sabbath by Alan Esselbach.
It comes down to the question: Should we follow the commands of man (Sunday observance) or the command of God (keep the Sabbath)? Those who knowingly reject the commands of God do indeed commit treason against God by giving allegience to another authority, which is in fact idolatry, and, thus, place themselves under God’s judgment as unrepentance sinners facing divine judgment.
Choose Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, and find delight in His day. As with Cain and Able, God accepts worship and obedience on His terms. At present God’s merciful grace covers ignorance, but this will not always be the case. The Holy Spirit desires to use Scripture to illuminate truth and banish ignorance. Within obedience to God’s commands are found great blessings to enhance our relationship to God and our happiness. After all, as in Eden, the Sabbath was designed to enhance one’s relationship with God.
