Great question, and one worth taking seriously from both directions. The argument that the Sabbath was only for Israel usually points to it being part of the Mosaic covenant, given at Sinai as a sign between God and the nation of Israel (Exodus 31:16-17). Since Christians aren’t under that covenant, the reasoning goes, we aren’t bound by that particular command the way we are by moral commands repeated in the New Testament. But there’s strong reason to see the Sabbath differently. It wasn’t introduced at Sinai, it goes back to creation itself: God rested on the seventh day and blessed it and made it holy (Genesis 2:2-3), long before Israel existed as a nation. Jesus also treated the Sabbath as something with ongoing purpose, not something abolished. He said the Sabbath was made for mankind, not just for Israel (Mark 2:27), and He kept it Himself throughout His ministry. So rather than a command that expired with the Old Covenant, the Sabbath can be understood as a creation ordinance, a rhythm woven into how God designed us to live: work, then rest and worship. Christians differ on the details of how that plays out today, but the underlying principle, that we need regular, intentional time set apart for rest and communion with God, still holds. Would love to hear how others here observe it in their own lives.
