In the Spirit's Power - William W. Prescott

and the Pharisees was how to keep the Sabbath;
and when Christ settled it, He settled it on the basis
of the Scriptures. The controversy to-day is, Which
day shall we keep for the Sabbath? Settle it on the
same ground. That is walking as Christ walked.
“He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also
so to walk even as He walked,” not as people say
He walked. If someone says that Christ kept the
first day of the week, go to the Bible, and ask for
the record. If some claim that the Sabbath was
changed by Him or by the apostles in honour of
His resurrection, ask for a “Thus saith the Lord.”
The word is our only safe guide. Walk as He
walked. The man who walks as Christ walks will
not necessarily walk as the leading religious
teachers of the day walk. Christ did not; for it was
the Pharisees who found fault with Him. Christ did
not conform His life to their ideas. He told them
what the Scripture said, and told them that He was
walking in accordance to that word. And to-day let
that word settle every controversy.
