There were those among the Pharisees who believed that if nation of Israel could celebrate just one Sabbath day in perfect obedience that God would redeem Israel from her enemies. So you can well understand the outrage of the Pharisees and other religious leaders when Jesus broke some of their rules and asserted that He was Lord of the Sabbath. True redemption would come through His work and not through their supposed obedience to their own laws or even God's Law. The Gospels contain six stories showing Jesus' authority and victory over the Pharisees. Jesus stated in Mark 2:27-28, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” The question, however, still remains and is debated by even Reformed Christians, what are my duties and responsibilities in terms of worship and rest and the Lord's Day or Sunday? In partial answer to this question, I want us to look at Hebrews 10:19-25. In the Greek these 7 verses are just one sentence. I will be emphasizing verses 24 and 25 in light of the subject of the Lord's Day, but we need to consider the entire section to best appreciate the emphasis of the author of Hebrews. And so we need to first consider from verses 19-21, two things that we have, and then from verses 22-25, three things we must do.
