6 Reasons from "Christ's Way of Reaching People"

This list come from the current book that I am reading~ "Christ's Way of Reaching People" by Philip G. Samaan. Just wanted to share this with you all.

Christ- motivated and Christ-centered teaching of the Sabbath day:

 

1. Christ from the very beginning involved Himself with man. He demonstrated His love not only by breathing life into him, but also in choosing to set aside a special day to commune with humanity.
2. Christ's love always searches for man, and seeks togetherness with him. In fact, the entire Bible is saturated with reference to His intense desire to be with His people. For Jesus to establish one special day to spend with us is a concrete sign that He loves us, and that we are special to Him.
3. So because man is so important to Christ, He made the Sabbath for him, a particular day reserved just for us and set apart from the rest of the week. Consequently, since the Sabbath is so important to Christ, it follows that it must be the same way to us too.
4. The Sabbath is God's precious love gift of time to us. How do we receive a loving present from a special friend? By graciously accepting it as it is. We should do the same with Christ's gift of the Sabbath by not substituting something else for it.
5. Jesus Himself customarily worshiped on the seventh-day Sabbath. His prophets and disciples did too. Being committed to following Him, we want to live even as He did. How can we go wrong if we follow His example?
6. The Sabbath symbolizes Christ's creation and redemption of man. He rested on that day after He finished His act of creation in the garden, and He also rested on that same day when He finished His act of redemption at Golgotha.
