Lesson 36: The Third Commandment

"Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.  Six days shalt thou labor, and shalt do all thy works.  But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:  thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.  For in six days the Lord made Heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day:  therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it."  (Exodus 20:8-11)

  1. What is the Third Commandment?
       Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath Day.

NOTE...
   The Church changed the Lord's Day from Saturday to Sunday because Our Lord rose from the dead on Sunday and the Holy Ghost came down upon the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday.  Also, Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday the last.  It is altogether more fitting in the New, more perfect Law or Testament that the Church consecrate the first day of the week to the Lord, rather than the last.  Thus we give God the "first fruits" of our week.
