Remember the Sabbath. Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, that people were never created to serve the Sabbath. It is and was and always will be a precious thing of delight, something given to you, and me, and all of us, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. It is not a burden, though the false teachers attempt to make it so, they claim you have been "liberated from Sabbath keeping" -- the next thing? Possibly that you have been "liberated" from Grace!
Think about it, if someone who knew nothing about the Bible was stranded on a deserted island with only the Bible to read, he'd never know a thing about the thousands of years of man's traditions that have grown up to obscure the Truth in the Bible. This castaway would learn about the Sabbath of God, and He would be happy to have such a blessing in such a lonely world. He would do his very best to figure out exactly WHEN was the seventh day, the Sabbath!

And if men have been "liberated" from the Sabbath, maybe they should request to be "liberated" from Heaven.. the Sabbath is a small taste of Heaven, a day of rest and refreshment, a day to be in the presence of God, a day set apart to Him. Is that really so bad? Perhaps Heaven would look like slavery to some, I never expected it would look that way to Christians.
