Did Sabbath ever change from Sabbath to Sunday Worship? Established at creation (Genesis 2:1-3), the Sabbath is a day set aside for the benefit of all mankind. God rested on the seventh day and sanctified it (set it aside for a godly purpose) as a blessing for all people. The Sabbath was later confirmed as part of God’s law in His covenant with the nation of Israel (of which the Jews were but one tribe) in Exodus 20:8-11 and repeated in Deuteronomy 5:12-15. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-18 that He did not come to “destroy [dissolve, overthrow or demolish] the Law or the Prophets.” Jesus said that He came to fulfill His purpose as our Savior, not to change or eliminate any of the laws that regulate our relationship with God and with each other. He stated emphatically that not even the smallest letter of the law (jot or tittle) would pass away before His entire plan was fulfilled. In Mark 2:27 Jesus referred back to the creation of the Sabbath, declaring to the Pharisees, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” It’s clear that the Sabbath was made (created or established) for the benefit of all humanity, not just for the Jews. And since the Sabbath was made for man, as long as there are people, the Sabbath will continue as part of the creation and part of our connection to God. Verse 28 says, “Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” In other words, the Sabbath is the true “Lord’s Day.” Luke 4:16 indicates that it was Jesus’ “custom” (habit or tradition) to observe the Sabbath. Although the Pharisees continually challenged Him about what He did on the Sabbath, Jesus consistently observed the seventh day—never indicating there was any need or plan to change its observance to Sunday. The New Testament covers six decades of the Church following Jesus’ death. There is no mention of changing the day of worship to the first day of the week. Man does not have the authority to “sanctify” or designate a day to be holy. Only God can do that. And according to Scripture, the only day God set aside as a day of rest and worship each week is the seventh day (Genesis 2:2-3).
