This document discusses the importance of rest for the body and mind. It notes that Jesus recognized the need for his disciples to take time away from their busy schedules to rest. The document then discusses the stages of sleep and why sleep is important for physical and mental restoration. It notes that lack of sleep can impair memory, concentration, immune function and more. Finally, it provides tips on promoting good sleep habits and highlights that the Sabbath was created by God as a day of rest.
This document discusses sleep and rest. It defines rest and sleep, describes the stages of sleep including NREM and REM sleep. It discusses factors that affect sleep like age, illness, environment. Common sleep alterations like insomnia, sleep apnea, and parasomnias are explained. Nursing responsibilities for assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care to promote sleep and rest are outlined.
The document summarizes the stages of sleep and theories behind why humans sleep. It discusses the five stages of sleep: stage 1 and 2 of non-REM sleep, stage 3 and 4 of deep non-REM sleep, and REM sleep. The stages follow a 90 minute cycle and different stages restore different parts of the body and brain. Sleep enables the body and brain to repair itself after being awake and active. Lack of sleep causes negative effects like irritability and impaired concentration. Many factors can disrupt a normal sleep cycle, including sleep disorders, changing schedules, stress, medications, and psychological conditions.
This document defines rest and sleep, describes the physiology and stages of sleep, and discusses factors affecting sleep and common sleep disorders. Sleep is defined as a state of rest accompanied by altered consciousness and inactivity. There are two types of sleep - non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep consists of 4 stages that progress from light to deep sleep. REM sleep is characterized by increased brain activity and vital signs but decreased muscle activity. Factors like environment, lifestyle, and medications can impact one's sleep. Common sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, and nightmares. Nurses provide comfort and a calm environment to promote restful sleep.

Factors like environment, lifestyle, and drugs can impact sleep quality and disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, and nightmares are also discussed. Nursing measures to promote sleep are provided.
This document discusses sleep and rest patterns. It defines sleep and rest, compares their characteristics, and identifies the stages of non-REM and REM sleep. The document outlines functions of sleep, factors that affect sleep, and common sleep disorders. It also discusses conditions necessary to promote sleep and the nursing process for patients.
This document defines and discusses sleep patterns, types of sleep, functions of sleep, factors affecting sleep, and common sleep disorders. It begins by defining rest and sleep and comparing their characteristics. There are two main types of sleep: non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) which has three stages, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Key functions of sleep include energy conservation, thermoregulation, brain function, memory consolidation, and physical health benefits. Factors affecting sleep include age, illness, environment, lifestyle, emotional stress, and drugs/substances. Common sleep disorders discussed are insomnia, parasomnia, and narcolepsy. Conditions to promote healthy sleep are also outlined.
This document discusses the importance of sleep for health. It describes the five stages of sleep, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Insufficient sleep can increase risks for various diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease due to changes in hormones like ghrelin and leptin. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night is recommended to maintain good health and reduce risks.
This document discusses sleep deprivation and its effects. It defines sleep deprivation as too little sleep, which can be chronic or acute. Long-term sleep deprivation lasting 4+ days can be uncomfortable. Effects include physical and mental impairment, increased risk of depression, heart disease, hypertension, irritability, slower reaction times, slurred speech, tremors, and weight changes. Sleep deprivation can sometimes be fatal. The document also discusses the stages and cycles of sleep, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and dreaming. Graphs show sleep and nap data collected from a psychology class to calculate average sleep deprivation.

One of the most overlooked interventions for depression and anxiety. This presentation examines how insufficient sleep or too much sleep can contribute to depression and irritability.
The document discusses various aspects of consciousness, sleep, and dreams. It begins by defining consciousness and describing different levels of consciousness such as waking, subconscious, and unconscious states. It then discusses sleep stages and brain wave patterns associated with each stage. REM sleep is specifically called out as the stage where most vivid dreams occur. The document also covers sleep disorders, the effects of sleep deprivation, and theories about the purpose and meaning of dreams.
All animals need sleep and people have been fascinated by sleep throughout history. There are different stages of sleep including light, deep, and REM sleep. During REM sleep, the brain is active while the body is paralyzed, which is important for memory, learning, and creativity. Most adults need around 8 hours of sleep per night but many people suffer from sleep deprivation or disorders. Not getting enough quality sleep can seriously impact health, mood, and cognitive performance.
This document discusses sleep disturbances and patterns. It begins with objectives of gaining knowledge about sleep disturbances, patterns, and their application in patient care. It then covers definitions of sleep, sleep facts, sleep patterns in different age groups, sleep physiology including stages of sleep and sleep regulation. Factors affecting sleep and consequences of sleep deprivation are explained. Common sleep disorders like insomnia are described along with international classification of sleep disorders and their management.
The document discusses sleep needs at different ages, sleep disorders, circadian rhythms, and the stages of sleep. Infants need 12-18 hours of sleep per night, children ages 5-10 need 10-11 hours, and teens and adults need 8-9 hours and 7-9 hours respectively. Sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, REM sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy. Circadian rhythms regulate the sleep-wake cycle through exposure to light and darkness. Sleep cycles through NREM and REM stages with different brain wave patterns in each stage.
White Paper: Powerful Ways On How To Get Ideal Amount Of Sleep NightlyBedding Stock
Just recently, insufficient sleep has become a major public health issue. Experts have discovered and are still discovering the optimal sleep duration as well as the harmful effects of too little or too much slumber to health. This white paper explores how much sleep people need and some tips on how people can achieve it every night.
This document discusses sleep, sleep disturbances, and factors that affect sleep. It covers the importance of sleep, circadian rhythms, sleep stages and cycles, functions of sleep, common sleep disorders, and how factors like lifestyle, medications, and medical conditions can impact sleep. Globally, around 150 million adults suffer from sleep disorders with insomnia being the most common. Sleep requirements vary by age, from 15-18 hours per day for newborns to 7-8 hours for adults. Proper sleep is essential for restoration of physiological and cognitive functions.
This document summarizes a study on sleep. It discusses what sleep is, the sleep cycle and its stages, anatomy related to sleep, circadian rhythm, common sleep disorders, tips to improve sleep, and benefits of good sleep. The sleep cycle typically lasts 90 minutes and consists of NREM and REM sleep. Stages of NREM sleep include stages 1-3, which differ in depth and brain wave activity. REM sleep involves paralysis and vivid dreams. Factors like hypothalamus and circadian rhythm regulate sleep cycles. Common disorders include insomnia, sleepwalking, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy. Tips provided to improve sleep and benefits discussed are reduced disease risk, better memory and learning.
Sleep serves important functions such as resting the body, reducing metabolism, strengthening memory, and rebuilding brain proteins. There are different stages of sleep including stages 1-4. Stage 1 is a light sleep where people can be easily awakened. Stage 2 is slightly deeper sleep. Stage 3 is deep slow-wave sleep important for restoration. Stage 4 is REM sleep where dreaming occurs and muscles are paralyzed. The amount and types of sleep change throughout life with babies and seniors requiring more total sleep than adults. Common sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, and nightmares.
Hepatocarcinoma today between guidelines and medical therapy. The role of sur...Gian Luca Grazi
Today more than ever, hepatocellular carcinoma therapy is experiencing profound and substantial changes.
The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Mainstreaming #CleanLanguage in healthcare.pptxJudy Rees
In healthcare, every day, millions of conversations fail. They fail to cover what’s really important, fail to resolve key issues, miss the point and lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.
Clean Language is one approach that can improve things. It’s a set of precise questions – and a way of asking them – which help us all get clear on what matters, what we’d like to have happen, and what’s needed.
Around 1000 people working in healthcare have trained in Clean Language skills over the past 20+ years. People are using what they’ve learnt, in their own spheres, and share anecdotes of significant successes. But the various local initiatives have not scaled, nor connected with each other, and learning has not been widely shared.
This project, which emerged from work done by the NHS England South-West End-Of-Life Network, with help from the Q Community and especially Hesham Abdalla, aims to fix that.
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates.
Importance in Pharmaceuticals: Understanding chemical kinetics is essential for predicting the shelf life of drugs, optimizing storage conditions, and ensuring consistent drug performance.
Rate of Reaction: The speed at which reactants are converted to products.
Factors Influencing Reaction Rates:
Concentration of Reactants: Higher concentrations generally increase the rate of reaction.
Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rates.
Catalysts: Substances that increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process.
Physical State of Reactants: The surface area and physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of reactants can affect the reaction rate.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DESIGN- RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALRishank Shahi
Randomized controlled clinical trial is a prospective experimental study.
It essentially involves comparing the outcomes in two groups of patients treated with a test treatment and a control treatment, both groups are followed over the same period of time. Prepare a plan of study or protocol
a. Define clear objectives
b. State the inclusion and exclusion criteria of case
c. Determine the sample size, place and period of study
d. Design of trial (single blind, double blind and triple blind method)
2. Define study population: Most often the patients are chosen from hospital or from the community. For example, for a study for comparison of home and sanatorium treatment, open cases of tuberculosis may be chosen.
3. Selection of participants by defined criteria as per plan:
Selection of participants should be done with precision and should be precisely stated in writing so that it can be replicated by others. For example, out of open cases of tuberculosis those who fulfill criteria for inclusion may be selected (age groups, severity of disease and treatment taken or not, etc.)
Randomization ensures that participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups:
One group gets the most widely accepted treatment (standard treatment/ gold standard)
The other gets the new treatment being tested, which researchers hope and have reason to believe will be better than the standard treatment
Subject variation: First, there may be bias on the part of the participants, who may subjectively feel better or report improvement if they knew they were receiving a new form of treatment.
Observer bias: The investigator measuring the outcome of a therapeutic trial may be influenced if he knows beforehand the particular procedure or therapy to which the patient has been subjected.
Evaluation bias: There may be bias in evaluation - that is, the investigator(Analyzer) may subconsciously give a favorable report of the outcome of the trial.
Co-intervention:
participants use other therapy or change behavior
Study staff, medical providers, family or friends treat participants differently.
Biased outcome ascertainment:
participants may report symptoms or outcomes differently or physicians
Investigators may elicit symptoms or outcomes differently
A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment.
Allocation concealment prevents researchers from influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.
All clinical trials must be approved by Institutional Ethics Committee before initiation
It is mandatory to register clinical trials with Clinical Trials Registry of India
Informed consent from all study participants is mandatory.
A preclinical trial is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility and drug safety data are collected.
Following points high.

1. ”COME REST A WHILE”
MARK 6:30-32
REST AND YOUR BODY
2. “And he said unto them, Come ye
yourselves apart into a desert place,
and rest a while: for there were many
coming and going, and they had no
leisure so much as to eat.” Mark 6:31
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
3. Jesus knew that a season of rest and
recreation, apart from the multitude
and the scene of their labors, would
revitalize Himself and His disciples
and so…
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
4. ...He sought to withdraw His disciples
from the busy cities to a quiet resort
where they might have a season of
precious fellowship with Him and with
each other.
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
5. When Jesus said the harvest was great
and the laborers were few, He did not
urge upon His disciples the necessity
of ceaseless toil. He tells His disciples
that their strength has been severely
tried, and they will be unfitted for
future labor unless they rest awhile.
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
6. The disciples of Jesus needed to be
educated as to how they should labor
and how they should rest. Today there
is need that God's chosen workmen
should listen to the command of
Christ to go apart and rest awhile.
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
7. The Christian life is not made up of
unceasing activity, or of continual
meditation. Christians must work
earnestly for the salvation of…
LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
8. LISTENING TO THE VOICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
…the lost, but, we must also take time
for contemplation, for prayer, for the
study of the Word of God, BUT most
importantly we must also take time to
rest.
9. “Amidst the hurrying throng, and the strain of life's
intense activities, he who is thus refreshed, will be
surrounded with an atmosphere of light and peace. He
will receive a new endowment of both physical and
mental strength. His life will breathe out a fragrance,
and will reveal a divine power that will reach men's
hearts. Ministry of Healing, p. 58.
ELLEN G. WHITE
10. WHAT IS REST?
• It simply means freedom from
anything that is tiring.
• Sleeping is the natural state of rest.
12. Many people in today’s hectic
society find it difficult to rest
due to the workload they face.
People have enormous
workload and hectic time
schedule such that they do not
have the time to sleep or even
to relax.
13. Fill your life with Celebrations 13
Full of fatigued
individuals.
Striving to keep up in
the human “race”.
17. 1. The heart beats 110,000 times.
2. We speak thousands of words.
3. We breathe 28,000 times.
4. We move major muscles hundreds of times.
5. We operate 15-20 billion brain cells.
All these organs need to rest
In just
one day . . .
18. Sleep is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
People die more quickly from lack of
sleep than they do from lack of food.
After ten days of total sleep
deprivation, death usually occurs.
However, sleep is tremendously
important for us.
THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP?
19. We are in need of sleep as much as we are
in need of oxygen. Sleep is capable of
working wonders: it increases one's work
efficiency, extends one's lifespan, and
cures illnesses. The human body is
arranged that every organ needs time to
rest and recuperate.
THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP?
20. During sleep our muscles relax, the nervous
system is relieved of the strain imposed upon
it by the rigors of the day’s activity.
21. This is the time when the body’s
repair and renewal program is at its
peak. Empirical research has
documented that, in humans, the
metabolic activity of the brain
decreases significantly after 24 hours
of sustained wakefulness.
THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP?
23. Sleep deprivation results in a
decrease in immune system
function, a decrease in the release
of growth hormone, and increased
heart rate.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION
25. Rest is important
particularly for our
nervous systems.
Sleep deprivation
makes a person
drowsy and unable
to concentrate the
next day.
REST AND THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM
REST AND THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM
26. Sleep deprivation leads to the
impairment of memory, thereby
reducing physical performance and
the ability to carry out mathematical
calculations. If sleep deprivation
continues, hallucinations and mood
swings develops.
29. Even a slight deprivation of night's sleep can
negatively affect one's health. It causes emotional
disturbances, and aggressiveness
32. Sleep deprivation can also lead to
apathy. One can also experience pain in
the joints. People also lose their ability
to think straight and act quickly. Those
who have been deprived of sleep for
long, usually find it hard to finish a
sentence or find an appropriate word to
describe something.
33. Those people short term memory
tends to fail. Therefore, one should
never economize additional time for
sleep. A sleep deprived individual
does everything twice as slow.
34. The process of sleep, if given adequate
time and the proper environment,
provides tremendous power to the
body. It restores, rejuvenates and
energizes the body and the brain.
35. Appropriate sleep enhances our
alertness, energy, mood,
perception, thinking capacity,
reaction time, productivity,
performance, communication
skills, creativity, safety, good health,
longevity.
That is why it is so important to get the
right quantity and quality of sleep.
37. The amounts of sleep vary significantly
with age and even between individuals.
Newborns sleep the most—a newborn
baby sleeps between 17 and 18 hours a
day. This is because sleep plays an
important part in their growth. This
decreases to 14 or 15 hours by age one, 10
or 12 hours by age four, and less than 10
by age ten.
38. Eighty percent (80%) of the hormones
they need for growth is produced
during the deepest part of their sleep.
The average young adult needs about 8
hours of sleep per night to function
optimally during waking hours.
39. Some people, however, sleep just 6 or 7
hours a night, while others need more
than 9 hours to feel rested. The elderly
tend to lose their capacity for extended
sleep. They may sleep very little at
night but doze during the day.
40. Sleep rests the mind
and the body.
Serotonin has been
assumed to play a
role in promoting
sleep. Other
neurotransmitters
may also play a role
in sleep.
41. STAGES OF SLEEP
You are lying awake in bed with eyes
open, awake but relaxed. Your beta
brain waves indicate wakefulness.
Growing more tired, you shut your
eyes. Your brain activity slows down to
alpha waves. You are more relaxed,
yet still awake. You still exhibit alpha
brain waves.
42. Stage I (NREM)
Brain activity is like a
person that’s awake. After
several minutes in the alpha
stage, your breathing rate
and brain waves begin to
slow down. You are now
entering Stage 1 sleep, a
transitional stage of light
sleep.
Subject is aware of
noises and sounds.
43. Your heart rate is lowered and your
breathing becomes shallow and
regular. As your muscles relax, you
might experience a sensation of falling,
causing you to awake momentarily.
44. Stage II (NREM)
Brain waves become
slower & larger.
As one becomes more
relaxed, it becomes more
difficult to awaken.
45. Your heart rate is lowered and your
breathing becomes shallow and
regular. As your muscles relax, you
might experience a sensation of falling,
causing you to awake momentarily.
46. Stage III (NREM)
Brain waves are large and
slow. Known as delta
waves.
Subject is completely
oblivious to what is going
on--sound asleep.
47. STAGE 3
It’s now perhaps 20-30 minutes
since you first closed your eyes.
You begin to enter Stage 3 sleep, a
combination of theta and delta
(very low frequency, high-voltage)
brain waves.
48. STAGE 4
Soon, the theta waves disappear
altogether, and you have arrived at
Stage 4, the deepest phase of sleep. If
you are awakened, you will feel
mentally tired for several minutes. You
will not be able to make much sense.
Your muscles are completely relaxed,
your blood pressure drops, your pulse
and respiration are slowed.
49. REM STAGE OF SLEEP.
After 30-40 minutes of delta sleep, you
begin retracing your steps back through
Stages 3 and 2. It is now about 90 to 110
minutes since you fell asleep. At this
point, something dramatic happens.
50. REM STAGE OF SLEEP.
Your sympathetic nervous system is
more active now than it is during
wakefulness. Blood flow to the brain
increases. Your pulse, respiration and
blood pressure increase and are
irregular. Your temperature rises.
51. Your eyes begin to dart back and forth,
as if you are scanning the environment.
Theta waves mingle with alpha waves,
indicating a state similar to
wakefulness. But you are not awake.
You have arrived at REM (Rapid Eye
Movement) sleep.
52. REM SLEEP
In REM sleep, your muscles are
completely relaxed and you are unable
to move, while your active brain is
dreaming. REM is the most frequent
dream phase. REM dreams are more
vivid and emotional. REM sleep plays
a major role in memory storage,
retention and organization.
53. YOUR NIGHTLY CYCLE
After your first REM period you will fall
back to Stages 2, 3 and 4 sleep -- then move
back again through Stages 3 and 2 into
more REM sleep. This cycle repeats itself
every 90 to 110 minutes until you wake up.
Depending on the length of time you sleep,
you will travel between 4-6 of these cycles
before morning.
54. REM sleep is absolutely essential for
preparing the mind for peak daytime
performance. Whenever you have a
short night of sleep you are eliminating
the long REM periods that come
toward morning. This can impair your
daytime learning, thinking, memory
and performance. REM sleep prepares
your mind and body for success.
57. For example, most if not all
sedatives and tranquillizers
interferes wit REM sleep. More so,
REM sleep is decreased by
antidepressants, amphetamines
and alcohol.
59. HOW DO WE PROMOTE GOOD SLEEP?
1. Schedule your activities- most of
us think we have more things to
do in a day than we plan for and
so we neglect our sleep in order to
accomplish them.
60. 2. Have a regular physical exercise
(Eccl 5:12). Those who have
structured exercise sleep more
deep than those who do not
exercise. When we exercise, slow
wave, deep sleep stages (physical
restoration) begins sooner and
last longer.
61. 3. Have a fixed time for going to bed
and getting up in the morning
even on the weekend and
holidays.
4. Observe regularity in all activities
of living as far as possible
including eating habits.
62. 5. Avoid late meal- an overloaded
digestive system prevents peaceful
sleep. There should be 4-5 hours after
regular meal before you go to bed and
2 hours after a light meal of fruit.
6. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and drugs.-these
are stimulants which may lead to
chronic insomnia
64. 7. End your day peacefully- avoid exciting
TV programs and argument
8. The bedroom should be cool, with good
ventilation, and as dark as possible.
9. No sleeping pill-they may knock out
REM stage of sleep
65. 10.Relax your mind- the thoughts and
worries of the day can do more in
keeping you awake than anything
else. A bedside prayer and meditation
on a scriptural text can give you a
peace of mind and sweet sleep. Worry
keeps our minds in a spin and
prevents sleep from coming.
110. • Gen. 2:1-3- God in His infinite wisdom
after creation gave us a day out of the
week to rest. The Sabbath rest is for
both our spiritual and physical rest. If
we deprive ourselves sleep, in the long
term, it can negatively affect our career,
our health and our life.
112. Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy. Six days shall thou labor and do all
thy work. But the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates.
113. For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Editor's Notes
Genesis 2:1-3:
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 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…”
“…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.”
●Notice–Bible says God “sanctified” the seventh day.
That means He made it holy.
–He set–apart for–holy use
Bible says–Exodus 20:8-11:
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
“…but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work:…”
“…you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.”
●Why worship him on that day?
“For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested the seventh day….”
“… Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”
Luke 4:16 says:
“And He [Jesus] 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.”
●Sabbath–Jesus announced He
was the Messiah
–reading from Isaiah
Wouldn’t Jesus have done away
with Sabbath–in His life
–if He–planned to destroy the law
–OR–introduce a new day–worship?
Remember–story of crucifixion–Luke 23:54-56z;
“That day [the day Christ was crucified] was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.”
●Christ–crucified–day–Bible calls
–preparation day
●Bible says:
“And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how his body was laid...”
“...Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils.”
Bible continues, “and they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.”
●Preparation day, the day Christ died
●Next day–Sabbath–rested
–Ladies wouldn’t–embalm His body
–Obvious–commandments weren’t nailed–cross
Closest followers–rested
–according to commandment
–Christ rested on Sabbath in life
–rested on Sabbath in death
Bible describes–happened–third day
“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them,...”
“...came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared...”
“...But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.”
Now notice - Friday
–preparation day–the day Jesus died
Next day
–Sabbath day–Saturday
–women rested–Christ rested
–according to the commandment
First day–Sunday
–Christ rose from the dead
–You have three days in succession
●Do we know what day Jesus died?
–We call it “Good Friday”–preparation day
●Next day–women rested
–Sabbath day–English–called Saturday
●First day–Sunday–third day
●Sabbath–day between–Friday and Sunday
●Bible clear–so are most common dictionaries
Dictionaries...say:
“The seventh day, Saturday, is the seventh day of the week.”
●True! Scriptures teach Sabbath observance.
–Cardinal Peter Gierman–Converts Catechism:
Q: Which is the Sabbath day?
A: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A: Because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
●Catechism is clear. It says
–church transferred–solemnity
–from Saturday – Sunday.
●In 1988, Karl Keating–one of the foremost Catholic authors–United States wrote about Protestants–said:
“...fundamentalists meet for worship on Sunday, yet there is no evidence in the Bible that corporate worship was to be made on Sundays. The Jewish Sabbath or day of rest, …”
“…was, of course, Saturday It was the Catholic church that decided Sunday should be the day of worship for Christians in honor of the resurrection.”
●Keeting says–church changed–day of worship
●The Controversial Catechism by Reverand
Stephen Keenan
–uses–fact to raise–unpleasant questions
–for Sunday keeping Protestants:
● “Q. When Protestants do profane work on Saturday, or the seventh day of the week, do they follow the scripture as their only rule of faith?
A. On the contrary. They have only the authority of tradition for this practice. In profaning Saturday they violate one of God’s Commandments,
which, on their principles, has never been abrogated: ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8)’”
●Medieval church says, We have the authority
–We can change the Sabbath.
●They say to Protestants:
–If you are going by the Bible,
–keep Saturday–Bible’s Sabbath
–If you keep Sunday
–you accept–authority–Roman Church.
