The following verse explains worship in heaven - after the second coming:
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Jesus, while ministering to others healed people on the Sabbath to demonstrate that:...Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? Matt 12:1 and Jesus called Himself the Lord of the Sabbath mark 2:28. Why did He say that?
Does this make sense: God is the Lord of the Sabbath because He created the Sabbath, blessed it, hallowed it and rested on it Himself. only to give it to us as a "memorial day" He did say For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (meaning He created and instituted it) Matt12:8 did He not?
Here is a verse to remember - This is part of the ten commandment law which was supposedly taken away, but don't just assume, think again, read (Matt 5:17-19)
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Sometimes, I just want to ask, what part of remember don't we
understand; and what part of: (For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled) don't we understand? (Matt 5:18)
BY the time Jesus came to earth, the Pharisees became the "Rulers of the temple" they were full of pride and arrogance and they took the Laws as written by Moses (The ceremonial laws) and observed them in order to be saved. Jesus came and showed them a better way. He showed them by example that the Sabbath was created for man. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, and it is Lawful to do good on the Sabbath. Matt 12:12. So, if you refuse to heal your neighbor but you go out of your way to rescue an animal, what does that make you? a hypocrite of course. and this is why Jesus called them hypocrites in Luke 13:15
How was the Sabbath created for man, what does this mean. It means what it says, what does it say: It is saying: The priests of that time have taken the Sabbath and they worshipped it as if they (the people) were created for the Sabbath. Not so, it is impossible! Man was created first and then the Sabbath. The Sabbath was created, for us and after creation. When God rested on the seventh day, He showed us by His example how to take it slow for at least one day out of each week (resting is not a burden) By resting on the Sabbath, He created a space in time in which we should come together and worship Him. This period of time called the Sabbath) It is a symbol of Gods creation and in Matt 15:17-19 we read.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
So, I have one question, are you teaching that the Law is done away with. Don't risk it! the Bible clearly says that those who go to heaven will talk negatively about those who rejected the Law. Do you really think that the Sabbath (which is a part of the Law) is a burden, bad, and null and void: Do you want to set yourself up for this kind of ridicule?
look at these verses:
The Law is Holy, Just, and Good
Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
It's good and therefore not done away with:
Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid.
The Law and the commandment point to the seriousness of sin:
But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
The Law is spiritual:
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Again, paul acknowleges and accept the goodness of the Law He serve God with the Law. and he delights in the Law:
