Those who hold that Christ abolished the law teach that He broke the Sabbath and justified His disciples in doing the same. Thus they are really taking the same ground as did the caviling Jews. In this they contradict the testimony of Christ Himself, who declared, "I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love." John 15:10. Neither the Saviour nor His followers broke the law of the Sabbath. Christ was a living representative of the law. No violation of its holy precepts was found in His life. Looking upon a nation of witnesses who were seeking occasion to condemn Him, He could say unchallenged, "Which of you convicteth Me of sin?" John 8:46, R. V.

De, som mener, at Kristus nedbrød loven, lærer, at han brød sabbatten og berettigede sine disciple til at gøre det samme. Således indtager de i virkeligheden det samme standpunkt som jøderne med deres smålige indvendinger. Herved modsiger de Kristi eget vidnesbyrd, som siger: "Jeg har holdt min Faders bud og bliver i hans kærlighed." Joh. 15, 10. Hverken Frelseren eller hans disciple brød sabbatsloven. Kristus var selv den levende repræsentant for loven. I hans liv fandtes ingen overtrædelse af dens hellige bud. Han kunne se på et folk af øjenvidner, der søgte anledning til at dømme ham, og sige uimodsagt: "Hvem af jer kan overbevise mig om nogen synd ?" Joh. 8,46.
