Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Sabbath and Sabbath year?+

The Sabbath refers to the seventh day of each week, a day of rest and worship. The Sabbath year occurs every seven years (Leviticus 25:4), when the land was to lie fallow. After seven Sabbath years comes the Jubilee year, a time of even greater restoration and release.

Did the New Testament abolish Sabbath observance for Christians?+

The New Testament does not explicitly abolish the Sabbath. Instead, it emphasizes that believers have freedom in how they observe days (Romans 14:5-6) and that Christ's rest supersedes the physical Sabbath (Hebrews 4:9-10). Christian traditions vary on whether to observe Saturday Sabbath, Sunday as the Lord's Day, or neither as binding.

Why did Jesus heal people on the Sabbath if it violated the law?+

Jesus distinguished between the Sabbath law's purpose—to benefit people—and the Pharisees' interpretation, which had become burdensome. Jesus taught that acts of mercy and healing align with the Sabbath's true intent. He claimed authority over the Sabbath as the Son of Man (Mark 2:28), indicating His role in redefining its significance in the New Covenant.
