God's Holy Memorial

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,

 and all the host of them.

And God blessed the seventh day,

and sanctified it:

Genesis 2:1,3

"Sanctified and blessed by God, the Sabbath was designed to be the great memorial of creation, and a blessing to mankind.

But men are trampling it underfoot. 

 It will ever stand unmoved,

a rock of offense to the Christian world, a

s was Christ to the Jewish nation.

As the rejection of Christ decided the eternal destiny of the Jews, so the rejection of God's holy memorial will decide the fate of many professing Christians."
