About children of the sabbath

When is the biblical sabbath? Is it relevant to the modern Christian? Does it even matter? Mainstream Christians and secular historians might be unaware of the 15-20 million followers of Christ worldwide who answer these questions with a positive affirmation and identify Saturday as the Sabbath. To these practitioners, the seventh-day sabbath is a crucial tenet of their Christian existence and experience. The Sabbath, long held to be a part of and a significant element only of the Jewish faith, is a truth that these masses of Christians around the globe esteem as highly as the other nine of the 10 commandments and the laws governing the universe. The Sabbath is viewed by these Christians as a law and principle as unchangable as the laws of gravity and physics themselves because it was an act established at the dawn of the age of humankind by the Creator. As I travel around the world to document their lives, I have found attitudes and practices that are common among the various practitioners of the Sabbath regardless of their national, social, or racial make-up. The Sabbatarians I encountered displayed a joy and purpose from the one physical act that they shared in communion with their God and His Son, and a love and reverence of His laws, His way, and His day of rest, namely the Sabbath.
