WHY JESUS CALLED HIMSELF AS LORD OF THE SABBATH
MATTHEWS. 12 : 8
To keep sacred His day of Sabbath Jehovah gave command to the Israelites
This is a rest day for Israelites so with their joyful hearts they can delight
About His perfect arrangement the Sabbath day was a shadow
Until Jehovah applies the new arrangement Israelites must Sabbath’s arrangement follow
Because the real rest will exist in Jesus’ perfect kingdom
So Jesus is lord of the Sabbath since from problems he will give earthly creations freedom
When Jesus was on the earth most outstanding miraculous works he performed
Jesus’ miracles about humans’ peaceful and restful future confirmed
About Jesus’ outstanding works though the rebellious Jews knew
But they objected to Jesus and never accepted Jesus as from the God True
The Jews who accepted Jesus’ peaceful message they were humble and honest by heart
Jesus promised with them they will be the perfect earthly paradise’s part
In Jehovah’s rest day Jesus to his disciples will give power and wisdom great
With holy spirit they will solve problems, for the earth and humans easiness they will create
Like Jesus they will heal people, the whole earthly society they will make secure
To the nation they will provide Jehovah’s knowledge pure
They will make people realise that Jehovah’s arrangement is best
In Jehovah’s arrangement they will provide people real prosperity and rest
