On another thread I was interested to read that poster said that he observed the Sabbath. I assumed he meant that he observed it as instructed by the relevant commandment. I asked if he would tell me what it entailed in keeping the Sabbath but to date he has not replied. So, I would like to ask Christians and indeed those of the Jewish faith what keeping the Sabbath means for them. Do you observe it as instructed by the commandement, or do you interpret those instructions differently?
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."
