By Christ.
Note.—This conclusion is inevitable. If all things were made by Christ, and without Him was not anything made that was made, and the Sabbath was one of the things that was made, then it follows that the Sabbath must have been made by Christ. This being so, the Sabbath must be the Lord's day.
8. What did God do in the beginning on the seventh day?
“And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.” Gen. 2:2.
Note.—If all things were made by Jesus Christ, then He, with the Father, rested on the first seventh day from all His labor in the work of creation.
9. After resting on the seventh day, what did God do?
“And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.” Verse 3.
Note.—And inasmuch as this blessing and this sanctification of the day were a part of the making of the Sabbath, as well as the resting upon the day, these also must have been done by Christ; for the Sabbath was made by Him.
10. How much honor is due to Christ?
“That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father.” John 5:23. “I and My Father are one.” John 10:30.
