Posted : 30 Aug, 2010 08:05 AM Ok, so...to bring a dead horse up for some more beating...I was just thinking about the verse in the bible where Jesus is telling His disciples and followers that there would be a time of trouble coming. He said, "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day"(Matt. 24:20). Then I thought about the counter-argument that I hear a lot, "Look at the context! Duh! He was a Jew speaking to Jews, the Sabbath is only for the Jews in the Old Covenant". So then I was thinking...but Jesus knew He was going to die...and He knew He would be putting everyone that believed in Him under the New Covenant...everyone...including Jews. Isn't every believer under the New Covenant now? So Why did Jesus tell these people that they should pray their flight wasn't in the winter, full of suffering and starvation...and then also tell them to also pray that their flight wasn't on the Sabbath either? After His death and the entrance of the New Covenant? That is, if it's not important to New Covenant Christians? I mean...it seems like a pretty big deal if Jesus compared avoiding breaking the holiness of the Sabbath to avoiding suffering and starvation, right? :peace::peace: Post Reply
