Summary

The conversation is a debate on whether keeping the fourth commandment in the New Covenant requires only a spiritual resting in Christ and his finished work or if it also requires a physical resting in worship. Jacob argues that the Sabbath was a sign of the Mosaic Covenant and that Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Covenant, establishing a new covenant with a new covenant sign, the Lord's Supper. He believes that Christians partake in the Sabbath by spiritually resting in Christ, not by observing a physical day of rest. Ben argues that the Sabbath command is rooted in natural law and corresponds to man's nature as a physical and spiritual being. He believes that keeping the Sabbath in the New Covenant requires both a spiritual and physical resting unto worship. He also argues that the Sabbath command has a positive moral aspect and that the change of the day from the seventh to the first is rooted in Hebrews 4. The distinction between the ceremonial and moral aspects of the Sabbath command is a point of contention between them. The conversation explores the different perspectives on the observance of the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. Ben Castle argues that the Sabbath commandment is moral and should be observed on the first day of the week, while Jacob Glass believes that the Sabbath is a sign of the old covenant and is not binding on Christians. They discuss the moral nature of the Sabbath, the transfer from the seventh day to the first day, and the distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. They also address the issue of tradition and the importance of gathering with the church on the Lord's Day.
