Sabbath Rest for the Christian Life

Some might consider the subject of ethics pertaining to the Sabbath to be minimally important in contemporary ethics. Accountability for the minister and his flock for this moral commandment is virtually non-existent on a human level. There are almost as many opinions as there are people on this matter, and attitudes vary from theological disagreement (Matt. 12, Rom. 14, Col. 2, Gal. 4) to subtle selfishness (Isaiah 58:13). This article contends that when Scripture is properly exegeted, there are moral Sabbath principles on the Lord's Day for the Christian.
