When you go to church remember...Enter to worship...leave to serve

How Jesus was required to Remember the Sabbath Day...

In the Ten Commandments...which was the minimum requirements Jesus (from the tribe of Judah not a priest from the tribe of Levi) to be sinless...The remember the Sabbath Day was a commandment which when obeyed left one ready to worship on the day God would receive worship from His people...The Jew when he remembered the Sabbath Day...would have kept the other 9 commandments so according to our English Roman Calendar would have been ready to worship on Saturday...instead of offering an animal sacrifice.


Here are the Ten commandments shortened for ease from Exodus chapter 20:


1. You will have no other gods before Me.

2. You will not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

3. You will not take the name of the LORD your God in vain

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother

6. You will not kill.

7. You will not commit adultery.

8. You will not steal.

9. You will not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You will not covet


As a Jew if you had kept the other 9 commandments then you were in the worship assembly...not the sacrifice an animal line...so remember the Sabbath Day was a requirement so you would not have to offer a sinner's sacrifice...and would have been accepted in worship.


Jesus in talking to the Samaritan woman told her anyone could be accepted on any day If they were worshiping God in Spirit and Truth...As it is written...But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (Joh 4:23-24)


After Jesus died and rose from the dead and the Apostles began the church on the Day of Pentecost...found recorded in the book of Acts chapter 2...this word from Jesus became in effect the replacement or the fulling of the remember the Sabbath Day so you could be accepted by God in worship.


Jesus as it is written in Mark 12:29-31 said...And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you will love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mar 12:29-31)


As it is written...Jesus Christ said...If any man come to Me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple. (Luk 14:26-27)



So in our terms...when go to the worship assembly we call church...remember enter to worship and leave to serve.


Pray with me...

Father please help us keep ourselves in the truth and walk in the Spirit so we can always call on You and worship You anytime...please meet our soul's deepest needs and heal our sounds caused by accidents and sinful behavior...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Seek you first…things first…

Seek you first…things first…

Jesus said these words found recorded in the New Testament of Christ…


You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment…


In all of the greatest things a man can Do is put Jesus first place in your life…all any soul can do is what is right by God first then fellow man…once the Truth has been revealed…

 

But seek you first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof….


God does not give us a command we cannot obey…God commandments are not grievous…Jesus gives a light and easy yoke…if Jesus says you cannot lie then He supplies the way not to lie…God always supplies what is needed to fulfill His command…

 

Judge not, that you be not judged.  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you.  And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye…


We must first get ourselves right with God before we entertain others salvation…

 

If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother hath aught against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...


God says to be right with Him…you got to be right with your brethren…your fellowman…cab you shake any man’s hand and look them in the eye or you done someone dirty…need to make it right…Sometimes God will not hear us until we do the right thing…

 

You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets.

 

Father, please remove anything between us and You and may we always be faithful in the Truth…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
