Christ is our example and what does scripture tell us...
"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read." Luke 4:16
He who created the earth in seven days, made the Sabbath when He created the world at the very beginning..
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Christ confirms that the Sabbath that he made was from Creation in Mark 2:27
So the Sabbath was there from the beginning, made for man. and the Creator Himself kept the Sabbath day:
Genesis 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
and if you look closely at Christ words....
Mark 2:27
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
....you begin to understand that as the Sabbath was made 'for man' and when the Sabbath first came into the picture (Genesis 2:1-3) the only man alive then was Adam and his wife Eve. Therefore, the Sabbath was made for them, and for their offspring, not for one particular group, but for all mankind.
