A Reflection of His Character

And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Mark 2:27

“In the days of Christ the Sabbath had become so perverted that its observance reflected the character of selfish and arbitrary men rather than the character of the loving heavenly Father. The rabbis … led the people to look upon God as a tyrant, and to think that the observance of the Sabbath, as He required it, made men hard-hearted and cruel. It was the work of Christ to clear away these misconceptions.”

—The Desire of Ages, p. 283

Sabbath Tip
