The Sabbath was established as a day of rest. Which commandment specifically instructs the observance of the Sabbath?

Correct Answer
B) The Fourth Commandment

The Fourth Commandment, found in Exodus 20:8-11, specifically instructs the observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest. It states, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God." This commandment emphasizes the importance of rest and reflection, aligning with Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28 for the weary to find rest in Him. The Sabbath rest in the Old Testament symbolizes the spiritual rest we find in Christ, a theme that runs throughout the Bible.
