“Nuhindukira ntukandagire isabato, ukanga gukora ibyo wishakiye ku munsi

wanjye wera, ahubwo ukita isabato umunezero, umunsi wera w’Uwiteka
ukawita uw’icyubahiro ukawubaha, ntube icyigenge ntiwishakire ibyo

Some of our people have sent their children to school on the Sabbath. They
were not compelled to do this, but the school authorities objected to receiving
the children unless they should attend six days. In some of these schools, pupils
are not only instructed in the usual branches of study, but are taught to do
various kinds of work; and here the children of professed commandment-
keepers have been sent upon the Sabbath. CCH P286.3

 BAMWE BAHITA BOHEREZA ABANA
KU ISHURI
If parents allow their children to receive an education with the world, and make the Sabbath a common
day, then the seal of God cannot be placed upon them. They will be destroyed with the world; and will
not their blood rest upon the parents? But if we faithfully teach our children God's commandments, bring
them into subjection to parental authority, and then by faith and prayer commit them to God, he will
work with our efforts; for he has promised it. And when the overflowing scourge shall pass through the
land, they with us may be hidden in the secret of the Lord's pavilion. CCH P 269.1

Come to the table without levity. Boisterous noise and contention should not be
allowed any day of the week; but on the Sabbath all should observe quietness. No
loud-toned commands should be heard at any time; but on the Sabbath it is entirely
out of place. This is God's holy day, the day He has set apart to commemorate His
creative works, a day He has sanctified and hallowed.—Manuscript 57, 1897 ; 3SM 257

in the law of the tithe: ‘The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.’ Man has no right nor power
to substitute the first day for the seventh... In like manner a tithe of our income is ‘holy unto the Lord.’ The

After the meeting closed I visited Ella Belden. Had a sweet season of prayer
with her. I then visited Brother and Sister W. Salisbury. We had a precious
season of prayer with the family. Brother and Sister Salisbury united their
prayers with mine. We all felt that the Lord blessed us. I then called upon aged
Brother and Sister Morse.... I visited Brother and Sister Gardner. He is nearing the
close of his journey. Disease has made him very weak. He was overjoyed to
see me. We united our prayers together and the hearts of these afflicted ones
were comforted and blessed.—Manuscript 6, 1873.
 IMYIDAGADURO KU ISABATO

I say to those who claim to be Seventh-day Adventists, Can you claim the seal of the living God? Can
you claim that you are sanctified by the truth? We have not, as a people, given the law of God the
preeminence as we should. We are in danger of doing our own pleasure on the Sabbath day.—Letter
258, 1907.

God would have all his gifts appreciated. All fragments, jots, and tittles are to be treasured carefully, and
we are carefully to become acquainted with the necessities of others. All that we have of Bible truth is
not merely for our benefit, but to impart to other souls, and this is to be impressed upon human minds,
and every kindly word spoken to prepare the way to make a channel through which the truth will flow
forth in rich currents to other souls. 3SM 258.2
 IMYIDAGADURO KU ISABATO

Every working of Christ in miracles was essential, and was to reveal to the world that there was a great
work to be done on the Sabbath day for the relief of suffering humanity, but the common work was not
to be done. Pleasure seeking, ball playing, swimming, was not a necessity, but a sinful neglect of the
sacred day sanctified by Jehovah. Christ did not perform miracles merely to display His power, but
always to meet Satan in afflicting suffering humanity. Christ came to our world to meet the needs of the
suffering, whom Satan was torturing.—Letter 252, 1906

In many families the younger children are left to themselves to find entertainment as best they can. Left
alone, the children soon become restless and begin to play or engage in some kind of mischief. Thus the
Sabbath has to them no sacred significance. 3SM257.1

UKAGERA KURI SINAYI

Imana isaba ko muri iki gihe umunsi wayo wera yitoranyirije wubahirizwa nko mu gihe
cy’Abisiraheli. Itegeko ryahawe Abaheburayo rikwiriye kubahirizwa n’Abakristo bose
nk’itegeko ridakuka Yehova abahaye. Umunsi ubanziriza Isabato ukwiriye kugirwa uwo
kwitegura, kugira ngo ikintu cyose kibe giteguye mu masaha yayo yera. Nta mpamvu n’imwe
ikwiriye gutuma imirimo yacu bwite ikomeza kuvogera amasaha yera. Imana yavuze ko
abarwayi n’abababaye bakwiriye kwitabwaho; umurimo ukorwa kugira ngo bamererwe neza
ni umurimo w’imbabazi, kandi ntabwo ari ukwica Isabato; ariko imirimo yose itari ngombwa
ikwiriye kwirindwa. Abantu benshi batabyitayeho bagenda basubika uturimo duto
bakadukora isabato yatangiye kandi twagombye kuba twakozwe ku munsi wo kwitegura. Ibi

 KUVURA KU ISABATO

[Battle Creek] Sabbath, March 5, 1859—Stayed Home to Nurse James White—Did not attend
meeting today. My husband was sick. Have remained with him to wait upon him. The Lord met
with us and blessed us this morn. I had unusual liberty in prayer. Brother John Andrews
preached twice today. He spent the eve and night with us. We enjoyed the visit much.—
Manuscript 5, 1859.

 GUKORA NEZA KU ISABATO

Igihe babazaga Yesu bati “Mbese amategeko yemera gukiza umuntu ku

Isabato?” yarabashubije ati “Ni nde muri mwe waba afite intama imwe,
ikagwa mu mwobo ku Isabato ntayikuremo? Mbese umuntu ntaruta intama
cyane? Nuko rero amategeko ntabuzanya gukora neza ku Isabato.” Matayo
12:10-12. {UIB 189.5}

Mu gukiza ukuboko kwari kunyunyutse, Yesu yaciriye iteka imigenzo

y’Abayahudi, maze asiga itegeko rya kane rimeze nk’uko Imana yaritanze
rimeze. Yaravuze ati, “amategeko ntabuzanya gukora neza ku Isabato.” Mu
gukuraho imiziririzo itagize icyo ivuze y’Abayahudi, Kristo yubashye Isabato mu
gihe abamwijujutiraga barimo basuzugura umunsi muziranenge w’Imana. {UIB
190.3}

abishimangiye ko ari Umwana w’Imana, kandi ababwira yuko ibyo yakoraga

ababaregaga ingero ziboneka mu Isezerano rya Kera z’ibikorwa byakozwe ku
Isabato n’abantu bari bari mu murimo w’Imana. {UIB 188.3} Abigisha
b’Abayahudi birataga ko bazi Ibyanditswe Byera ariko mu gisubizo Umukiza
yabahaye yarimo kubacyaha kubera ubujiji bwabo bw’Inyandiko Zera.
Yarababwiye ati, “Mbese ntimwasomye icyo Dawidi yakoze ubwo yasonzaga

“Arababwira ati “Isabato yabayeho kubw’abantu, abantu si bo babayeho

kubw’Isabato.” “Cyangwa ntimwasomye mu mategeko, uko abatambyi
bazirura Isabato bari mu rusengero, nyamara ntibabeho umugayo? Ariko
ndababwira yuko uruta urusengero ari hano.” “Ni cyo gituma Umwana
w’umuntu ari Umwami w’Isabato na yo.” Luka 6:3, 4; Mariko 2:27, 28; Matayo
12:5, 6. Niba Dawidi yari yemerewe kumara inzara ye arya ku mitsima yari
yararobanuwe mu yindi ishyirirwa ku ruhande gukoreshwa umurimo wera, ni
ukuvuga ko byari binemewe ko abigishwa bakemura ikibazo cyabo baca

Kristo yashakaga kwigisha abigishwa Be n’abanzi Be ko umurimo

w’Imana ari nyambere. Icyo umurimo w’Imana ugendereye muri iyi
si ni ugucungurwa k’umuntu; bityo rero, ikintu cyose cya ngombwa
kandi gikenewe gukorwa ku munsi w’Isabato kugira ngo uwo

bishatse kuvuga Usumba impaka zose ndetse n’amategeko yose.
Uwo Mucamanza uzira iherezo yahanaguye icyaha ku bigishwa
yifashishije ya mategeko bashinjwaga ko bishe.
 Conclusion

Abatsimbarara ku kuvuga yuko Kristo yakuyeho amategeko bigisha ko yishe
