The Sabbath Restored Part 1 Site 9
Narrative for Site 9 on the Sabbath Trail
by Pastor Merlin Knowles
Early in his ministry, Jesus began to restore the Sabbath to what He originally intended. As He opened His earthly ministry He began to share with the people His mission to preach the gospel, to heal broken hearts, and deliver captives and open blind eyes, and He did so on the Sabbath in the synagogue, and so He linked the Sabbath to His mission to open blind eyes, to deliver captives, captives of Satan, captives of legalism, open blind eyes about who God is and about His very special day that He wants to spend with His people.

The Sabbath Restored - Part 1
One Sabbath early in His ministry, Jesus went into the synagogue "as His custom was" and proclaimed that He Himself fulfilled the messianic prophecy of Isaiah. By this, the Sabbath was linked with Christ's mission to preach the gospel, heal broken hearts, deliver captives and open blind eyes. Following this announcement, He began systematically restoring the Sabbath to God's original purpose. Is. 58, 61, Lk. 4:16-21

El Sábado Restaurado - Parte 1
Un sábado en el comienzo de su ministerio, Jesús fue a la sinagoga "conforme a su costumbre" y proclamó que Él mismo llenaba la profecía mesiánica de Isaías. Por esto, el sábado fue la conexión de la misión de Cristo para predicar la palabra, reparar los corazones rotos, liberar a los cautivos, y abrir los ojos ciegos. Después de este anuncio, Él comenzó sistemáticamente a restaurar el sábado como fue el propósito original de Dios. Isaías 58, 61, Lucas 4:16-21
