How do we know the Sabbath is still relevant today?

Answered in 4 sources

The Sabbath remains relevant as Jesus affirmed its importance, stating it was made for man, and the apostles continued to observe it in the context of the Christian faith (Mark 2:27).

The relevance of the Sabbath today is affirmed by Jesus, who clarified its purpose, indicating that it was made for man's benefit, not as a burden. This is seen in Mark 2:27, where Jesus declares that 'The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.' Furthermore, the apostles, having been taught by Christ, continued to observe the Lord's Day, which is rooted in the Sabbath's principle but transformed into a celebration of Christ’s resurrection. This highlights that the Sabbath serves not only as a day of physical rest but as a spiritual necessity, reinforcing the importance of dedicating time for communion with God in our busy lives.
