Lord's Day 23 (2018). Psalms 118:24. This is the day which the Lord hath made. “so, (1.) Here is the doctrine of the Christian sabbath: It is the day which the Lord has made, has made remarkable, made holy, has distinguished from other days; he has made it for man: it is therefore called the Lord’s day, for it bears his image and superscription. (2.) The duty of the sabbath, the work of the day that is to be done in his day: We will rejoice and be glad in it, not only in the institution of the day, that there is such a day appointed, but in the occasion of it, Christ’s becoming the head of the corner. This we ought to rejoice in both as his honour and our advantage. Sabbath days must be rejoicing days, and then they are to us as the days of heaven.” Matthew Henry. “they have not acted incorrectly, who have abolished all days except ‘the Lord’s Day’” Jerome Zanchius. "Christ is born, is circumcised, dies, rises again for us every day in the preaching of the Gospel." Lambert Danæu.
