SABBATH - Lesson 2 Part 1

SABBATH SERIES - VIDEO 2 PART 1

Over the last 5 to 10 years I have noticed Christians becoming interested in the Jewish Passover Meal – the Seder.  Many say they see how it connects to Jesus.  Christians also see how Jesus is also related to Passover.  The lambs were sacrificed on the same day the Lamb of God was sacrificed or Jesus was crucified.  Matter of fact I teach a course on the feasts of the Lord found in Leviticus 23 and how they testify of Jesus.  Paul teaches us this.  Consider the text …

Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. (Col 2:16-17)

The feasts are shadows of something.  Something is casting a “shadow”over the feasts. What? Who?  Jesus of course.  He is the substance of the shadow or that which makes up the shadow. 

But, as we have seen in Video 1 parts 1 and 2 the greatest of all the Lord’s feasts, actually, appointed times set by Him, is the Sabbath, or in Hebrew, שַׁבָּת Shabbat. See below.  Here’s the links to Video 1 parts 1 and 2.

God has created an appointed time called the Sabbath on the 7^th day of each week.  It is a holy TIME; it is 24 hours long and not about just going to church.  During this set aside time, or holy time, the Lord commands us to have a special separate meeting during this 24 hour holy time as in Leviticus 23:3.  The Jews do a synagogue service and from this the “church” followed suit and did a church service. 

But Jesus said …

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me.” (Joh 5:39)

Jesus said this between 24-30 A.D. and all they had was the Hebrew Scriptures – a.k.a. the Old Testament. So, the Sabbath must be a SHADOW of things to come.  And the Sabbath MUST testify of Jesus.  But how?  It is easy to “see” Jesus in Passover.  It is easy to see how the Jewish Seder relates to Jesus.  But שַׁבָּת Shabbat?  How?  How is Jesus connected to this special, set aside, or holy 24 hour period?  Let’s go study this in Video 2 parts 1 and 2 and 3.  So, ready?  Come let’s go.
