Transcript

By different, I greet you in the name of our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ. In 1 John chapter 4 reading verses 20 and 21, the Bible tells us, if a man say, I love God, and hiteth his brother, he is a liar. For he that love is not his brother whom he have seen, how can he love God whom he have not seen, and this commandment have we from him, that he who love his God, love his brother also.

Clearly there is an unbreakable connection between how we interact with God and how we interact with our fellow human being. For 21 tells us it is a commandment and this commandment have we from him, that he who love it God, love his brother also, it is non-negotiable. We see this connection in the fourth commandment. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, six days shall thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.

In it thou shalt not do any work, thou no thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger, that is within thy gates. Son, daughter, servants, cattle, all of that represent society. The Sabbath keeping of an individual cannot be separated by that individual's interaction with the broader society. In that sense the Sabbath requires a vertical interaction and a horizontal interaction.

In that words, how we honor God and how we honor our fellow man and woman. Proposal Sabbath observance connects heaven and earth after all. The creator of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ and he also connects heaven to earth and the central commandment of the 10 commandments which is the fourth commandment connects heaven and earth in the way we honor God in keeping the Sabbath. Proposal Sabbath observance requires we honor God and we are blessing to our fellow man. They cannot be separated.

As you keep the Sabbath holy, I'm sure you are aware of your duty to God. Do not forget your duty to your fellow human being. May Lord bless you super abundantly and doubly bless your children my dear friend. As you keep the Sabbath holy in honoring God and being a blessing to your fellow man and woman God bless you.
