@DrShayPhD @Ukpahiojojames @DebbieHenkes God so desired that His people know Him that He revealed to them part of His character, known as the Law or Ten Commandments. These ten words of law were God’s desire for the Children of Israel and for all humankind
@DrShayPhD @Ukpahiojojames @DebbieHenkes The most powerful statement regarding Christ’s commitment to the Sabbath is found in Mark 2:27 and 28. “And he was saying to them, The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath
