What About The Sabbath?

---

If Jesus abolished the law, did he set up a lower or higher standard to replace it? Lower expectations, like Saturday Night Live?

All indications to Bible readers are the standards went higher. Even thinking about something was the same as doing it.

But people like the idea of the Sabbath day. It is a prescription, do this and you are ok. Take your medicine and you will be good.

So what replaced the law? The temple was destroyed, the ark disappears, the priestly system and sacrificial system removed. The curtain was ripped from top to bottom.

What was left? A direct relationship with God the Father through the Holy spirit and Jesus.

Love the Lord you God with all your heart became the new standard. Now that is a tough standard that requires a lot of grace.

Jer_31:33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the LORD. “I will put My instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Heb_8:10 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.

God clearly states what the new covenant is. A direct relationship, one that He directs, not us.

How do you know God has a relationship with you?

Actually the death of Christ gave us a much higher standard - GRACE.

The Old Covenant of the Law has been replaced by the New Covenant of grace (Heb. 8:13).
