Points about the Sabbath SERIES: Sunday or Baptism?

The Sabbath Is Not Meant to Memorialize the Resurrection

"It is true that Jesus rose on a Sunday.
It is one of the pivotal moments in the history of the world.
But nowhere does the Bible hint that we should keep Sunday holy.

Many other wonderful events occurred on certain days of the week, but we have no command to keep them holy either.


There is, of course, a memorial of the resurrection commanded in the Bible, but it is not to determine a new day of worship. Paul wrote: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).
Baptism is the memorial of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. However, the Sabbath is a memorial of creation."
