What day is the Sabbath?

Many of us think that the biblical Sabbath day is Sunday, the first day of the week, while others believe that it is Saturday, the seventh day of the week. Let us look into this more closely.

The Jewish Sabbath, derived from the Hebrew word “shavat” which means “to rest”, is observed by the Jews on the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. This is the day in which God rested after all of His creations had been done. The Bible shows that the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week and that it falls on a Saturday.

Luke 23:54 states that Jesus died on the preparation day (when the body of Jesus was wrapped in linen and placed in a tomb) or now known as Good Friday, and on the next day, the women who prepared fragrant oils and spices for Jesus rested because it was Sabbath. After the Sabbath, Jesus was resurrected (Easter Sunday). This shows that the Sabbath lies on a Saturday.

The question now is this: When do some religions say that the Sabbath day changed to Sunday?

Some scholars say after the New Testament was written and the death of all of the apostles, Christians began resting and worshipping on the first day of the week, rather than the seventh day.

The earliest historical account of Sunday observance was in the middle of the 2^nd century after Christ, and this occurred in Italy.

During this period, many Christians observed two days (Saturday and Sunday) though there were still others who only maintained the seventh day (Saturday) as the Sabbath.

It was on March 7, A.D. 321 that Constantine the Great issued the first civil Sunday law forcing all under the Roman Empire to make Sunday the day of rest. Only the farmers were excluded from this law.

Sabbath Day is a day of peace and reflection.

What’s the meaning of the Sabbath Day?

Merriam-Webster defines Sabbath as (1) “the seventh day of the week observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening as a day of rest and worship by Jews and some Christians”, and (2) “Sunday observed among Christians as a day of rest and worship”.

The religious meaning of Sabbath is that God wants that we trust Him and that He will provide for us. He wants us to know that we can rest for a day and not be addicted to or compelled to do work seven days a week. By resting on Sabbath, we are able to regain our strength and not succumb easily to illnesses. Also, observing Sabbath is a way of preventing work idolatry.
