Sabbath The seventh day of the week, when people are called to cease or rest from their labors and reflect on God. The observance of the Sabbath was demanded of the Israelites as part of the Ten Commandments. Christians are not under the first covenant and so are not obligated to keep the Sabbath (Col 2:16). Some people mistake the first day of the week (Sunday) for a Christian Sabbath. The only Sabbath rest for Christians is in heaven after the Judgment (Heb 4:1-13). Those who broke the Sabbath were stoned – Exo 31:14-15
