THE SABBATH, OR LORD'S DAY.
MARK 2:27, 28.—"The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."
ACTS 20:7; I COR. 16:1, 2.—Former-day Saints met for worship on the first day of the week-the day on which Christ arose from the dead.
DOC. & COV. 59:9-13.—The Latter-day Saints' authority for observing the first day of the week—the Lord's day—as a Sabbath.
Some religionists base their salvation on the observance of the seventh day, or Jewish Sabbath. To be consistent such people ought also to observe the Sabbath of Years and the year of Jubilee, both being part of the Jewish law. (Lev. 25:1-22.) The penalty for breaking the Jewish Sabbath was death. If the penalty is abolished, how can the law remain?
