Lesson: Sabbath & Winter

"Jesus commanded seventh day observance, and at one time said to the disciples, “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter neither on the Sabbath day” (Matthew 24:20).  
He was talking to them about the destruction of Jerusalem, which would take place in thirty nine years after Jesus had returned to heaven.  
This text proves, in Jesus’ own words, that the seventh day Sabbath did not cease to exist at the cross, any more than the winter ceased to exist then!  
---Because of the sacredness of the Sabbath, the Christians were to pray that their flight be “not on the Sabbath day.”
