My third reason for believing this proposition is, That Christ and his Apostles honored this day; and did not intimate that it would ever cease to be the Sabbath, but the contrary.
1. Christ honored this day.
Luke 4:16—"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath-day, and stood up for to read."
Luke 4:30, 31; (See also Mark 1:21)—"But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way, and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath-days."
Luke 13:10—"And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath."
Mark 3:1, 2—"And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him whether he would heal him on the Sabbath-day."
Mark 6:2—"And when the Sabbath-day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue."
2. The Apostles honored this day. Read carefully the following passages and their contexts.
Acts 13:14—"But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath-day, and sat down."
Acts 13:44—"And the next Sabbath-day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God." (That is, to hear Paul and Barnabas preach.)
