If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:15

 "Christ, during His earthly ministry, emphasized the binding claims of the Sabbath; in all His teaching He showed reverence for the institution He Himself had given. In ...Although followed with merciless hostility by the rabbis, He did not even appear to conform to their requirements, but went straight forward keeping the Sabbath according to the law of God. During the Christian dispensation, the great enemy of man's happiness has made the Sabbath of the fourth commandment an object of special attack."
