Description
Haldane proves the Lord’s Day is a permanent obligation, afterward embodied in the Ten Commandments and recognized by Jesus and His apostles, and that the change of day does not void the fourth commandment. He sets forth how beautifully the Sabbath day depicts the patience, goodness, and mercy of Jehovah. Most divine institutions point out the consequences of sin, but the Sabbath traces its origin to the time when man walked in innocence in the immediate presence of the Lord. We are to remember an institution forgotten in the bondage of Egypt—to keep holy a day God claims as His inalienable property, a claim restated by Jesus Christ for us.
Endorsements
“Robert Haldane’s Sanctification of the Sabbath is a lost gem. Its brilliance shines clearly in his mastery of the biblical story line, his use of scripturally constrained typology, and his irrefutable logic. Though brief, it is filled with insights into texts and themes from across the canon of Holy Scripture that will prove invaluable to preachers and to all who love the Word. There are many worthy volumes that expound the biblical doctrine of the Sabbath day, but the particular strength of this treatment lies in its deft handling of redemptive history, showing how the gospel thread is woven throughout the giving of the law, the structure of the tabernacle, and the new covenant dispensation. As Haldane demonstrates, far from abrogating the Sabbath command, this golden thread of good news provides the foundation for and expresses the meaning of the Sabbath, helping all who love the Lord to love His day and call it a delight. I am thrilled that it is being reprinted.”
