Sabbath Fulfilled

Jesus and his apostles kept the Sabbath of the New Testament.

Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother restored the Sabbath of the New Testament disappeared in 321 A.D.

World Mission Society Church of God celebrates the Sabbath of the New Testament.


It is everybody's opinion that the Sabbath of the Old Testament was abolished by the Cross of Jesus. It is true. However, people are not aware of the Sabbath of the New Testament Jesus gave us to celebrate until the last day.

Heb. 10:9Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.

Jesus came to set aside the Law of Moses and to establish the Law of Christ.

Mt. 5:17“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Jesus came and changed the Law of Moses into the Law of Christ. Just as the Law of Moses has the Sabbath day, so the Law of Christ has the Sabbath day fulfilled by Jesus. The difference is in "how" God's children keep the Sabbath holy.

First, let's find out how people kept the Sabbath in the time of Moses.

Nu. 28:9~10On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs ...

People served God by sacrificing lambs every Sabbath. Now let's study how people kept the Sabbath in the time of Jesus.

Jn. 1:29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Jesus is the reality of the lambs sacrificed every Sabbath. Since Jesus, the Lamb, was once sacrificed on the cross, there was no need for sacrificing lambs any more. After the Sabbath of the New Testament was established by Jesus, the Sabbath of the Old Testament started to disappear. Let's find out how Jesus kept the Sabbath.

Lk. 4:16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.

Jesus kept the Sabbath. His apostles also kept the Sabbath. However, today many Sunday worshippers allege that Jesus' disciples kept Sunday after the Crucifixion. Let's find out if it is true.

Lk. 23:52~56... But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Ac. 17:2~3As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from Scriptures, ...


Right after the Crucifixion, Jesus' followers still celebrated the Sabbath in obedience to His commandment. Long after Jesus' Ascension, the Apostle Paul still kept the Sabbath as his custom. Now can you understand Jesus' disciples kept the Sabbath before and even after the Crucifixion? The Sabbath day was the custom of Jesus and His disciples.

As we have studied, the Sabbath of the Law of Moses was fulfilled by Jesus through the Sabbath of the Law of Jesus. We should celebrate it until the last day.

Mt. 24:20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.


Mt. 7:21-23Away from me, you evildoers (you who practice lawlessness, NKJV).


Those who do not keep the Sabbath, God's law, are evildoers in God's eyes who will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Let's keep the Sabbath of the New Testament and enter the kingdom of heaven.
