Sermon: Exodus 20:8-11 - “Requirement or Elective? - 4th Commandment, Part 2” - David Rountree

OUTLINE:

No Good Argument for Avoiding the Sabbath - Prov. 3:5-6; 2 Tim. 2:15,16

Two arguments for Abrogating the Sabbath

  1. Abrogation through a cessation of commands (Rom. 6:2, 15 & 1 John 5:3)

  2. Abrogation through cessation of ceremonies.

5 Reason not to abrogate the Sabbath as ceremonial

  1. Sabbath is a creation ordinance (Gen.2:1-3).

  2. Sabbath was expressly taught prior to TC (Exod. 16:4, 5, 22-30).

  3. Sabbath was the distinguishing mark of a Genesis pattern (Gen. 2:1-3; 8:10; 29:27; 50:10).

  4. Violation was a capital offense (Exod. 31:14).

  5. The Ten Commandments are treated as a moral unit that completely moves into the New Testament (Jer. 31:33; Eph. 6:2-3; 1 Tim.1:8-11).

Five Arguments for Accepting the Sabbath

  1. The rationale is decisive (Gen.2:2,3).

  2. The remembrance is demanded (Exod. 20:8).

  3. The ruler is deity (Mark 2:27,28).

  4. The reality is demonstrated (Matt.24:20).

  5. The regularity is described (Isa.56:1-7; 66:1,2,22,23).

Two Primary Reasons for Keeping the Sabbath Command

  1. Redemption Remembrance (Deut. 5:15).

  2. Creation Celebration (Exod. 20:11; Heb. 4:1-10).
