What if the United States Congress passed a law that stated next Saturday at midnight all traffic patterns in the United States would forever shift from driving on the right side of the roadway to driving on the left side of the roadway. At that hour Department of Transportation workers across America would hastily rearrange all traffic signs and repaint all street, road and highway markings to reflect the change. Do you think such a change would be implemented quickly and easily with no accidents and little if any opposition? Well, let me give you a scenario even more astonishing.
What if God inaugurated a holy day of rest at the same time He created man and placed him in the garden. What if he declared again and again the sacredness of that day and displayed almost unbelievable anger whenever that day was violated by those who knew God favored that day, dogmatically stating that He would even destroy Jerusalem and His own temple if that sacred day continued to be dishonored? (See Jeremiah Chapter 17). What if He said that day could never be changed and would remain sacred to Him even in the new heavens and new earth? (See Matthew Chapter 5 and Isaiah Chapter 66). Would you have a hard time believing such a change was authorized by God with no advance warning, and no specific declaration that He approved of any such change? That’s the problem I have with Sunday, folks!
