History of Mormonism - Sabbath Day
History of Mormonism and the Sabbath Day... When I think of who besides Mormons keeps the Sabbath day holy, I'm thinking that Jewish people and other non-Christians keep the Sabbath day holy more than other Christians in today's society. Today, Sunday seems more like the preferred day for recreation; Saturday being a get things done and work day.
Sunday is a day of rest, but not recreation! If Sunday is supposed to be kept holy, then we need to ponder what "holy" is. I think that doing what Jesus Christ would do on the Sabbath is a good example for us to follow -- the perfect example!
Christ would probably serve others, spend extra time praying to our Heavenly Father, eat simply, and do these things with serenity. Christ's example is part of the history of Mormonism.
We can do those things, but could also add study of God's word in the scriptures and church services seems appropriate. Keeping the Sabbath day holy is one of the Ten Commandments of God... I think people have forgotten that. The wording of this commandment makes it seem like Sunday is day of holy work, not only a day of rest and lazing around.
I'm grateful for the Sabbath day commandment, otherwise I would not make time for the Lord and spiritual things for an entire day each week. The Sabbath day does bring me peace and a needed spiritual rest, although I may be busy doing service.
