== For who? ==
The Sabbath was instituted for the nation of Israel and was contained in the Mosaic law (Exodus 31:16, 17). Observant Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, continue to observe the weekly Sabbath (usually from sunset Friday until sunset Saturday).
*Christ Jesus set the standard for doing good work on the Sabbath when he healed the sick, much to the chagrin of the Pharisees who tended to be rigid in their interpretation of work. Jesus responded that just as his Father continued working, so he continued working. (John 5:5-17)
*Romans 10:4 states that Christ is the end of the Law (see also Galatians 4:9-11 and Ephesians 2:13-16). This means that Christians are no longer under the multitude of rules and regulations associated with the Law, but can have an approved standing with God based on Christ's sacrifice.
**Christians are still bound by the ''principles'' contained in the law as noted by Jesus himself when answering a Pharisee's question as to the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:34-39). Where the moral standards set out in the Ten Commandments, and other portions of the Mosaic Law, are restated and thus binding on Christians in the New Testament; the sabbath law was not included.
