Acts 13.14.27.42.44
According to the Law of GOD (Law of Moses) congregation must be assembled on the Sabbath Day only. The Sabbath Day was blessed and sanctified by All MIGHTY GOD Himself (Genesis 2.2-3), it became the HOLY DAY and required to be observe every Seventh Day without any exceptions.
Jesus Christ the Son of GOD observed Sabbath faithfully (Luke 4.16) as His Father Commanded, and he fully fulfill all the Laws that His Father gave to Israel to observe and to follow. Jesus never violated the Sabbath Day, actually He never violate any Statute or Commandment of the Law of Moses.
In verse 14 Paul and Barnabas came to synagogue on the Sabbath Day in the land of Gentiles, in Antioch of Pisidia, the same custom also recorder and in following chapters of Acts.
It was unthinkable for Apostles, or for any early Christian for that matter, to worship GOD on any other day of the week besides Sabbath. Despite the facts that GOD can be worship at any day and at any time, the Sabbath Day is especially and particularly designed and purposed to imitate GOD in His activity of the creation of the world, not mentioning to imitate Him in His Personality and Character of truth, righteousness, justice, and love, all of which recorded in His Laws, by everyone who are truly loyal and faithful to Him.
Teachings of the Law by teachers and prophets of GOD always had been done on the Sabbath Day. This indicates that the Sabbath was the prime Day when teachings of the GOD'S Laws must be learned, explained, and memorized, to enforce it as the Law of the land on all of its inhabitants (verse 27), Jews and Gentiles.
Gentiles in Pisidia who heard the Word of GOD from Paul and Barnabas in their synagogue, "begging that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath." (verse 42). All Gentiles knew very well that Jews worship GOD only on the Sabbath Day, and they completely accepted Gospel of Christ from these two Jews, and without any reasonable doubt begged them to teach them and on the next Sabbath Day (verse 42), which is indeed happened on the next Sabbath Day (verse 44).
The Lord rested on the Sabbath Day is not aphorism but reality. Word "Rest" under this context means WORSHIP. Six day a week we shall work, but on the Seventh Day we must REST AND WORSHIP GOD. Six days are for us, but the Seventh Day is for GOD only.
The Kingdom of GOD also compared to "REST." (Hebrews 4.4-5.9-10). Those who intent to reach the Kingdom of GOD should also think of the Sabbath as GOD'S Kingdom there is GOD rests with all His subjects. Violating Sabbath, in this case, means violating the Kingdom of GOD.
It will be a time then all mankind will worship GOD of Israel on the Sabbath Day (Isaiah 66.23).
What kind of reward will be for those who observe the Sabbath Day besides having Eternal Life at the end (referring to Hebrews 4)? It will be the blessing of GOD without measure (Isaiah 58.13-14).
