Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
The sabbaths would have been holy days; days of rest, just as God rested from His creation on the seventh day. The observation of these sabbath days was a sign of their relationship with God and meant to remind them that they had been set apart as uniquely special to God.
The New Testament provides us with a different day. Christians have the first day of the week. It is a different sort of rest as, because of Christ, the work of righteousness is finished. We rest in that we rely solely upon Him for our righteousness and or relationship with God. We observe the day, not by resting from our labors, but by worshiping Him and testifying in His name. Our participation in services, whenever or church hosts services, is a reminder of what Christ accomplished for us. It is a testimony to others that we have been set apart to Him.
Oh, don’t rebel from such a sweet testimony.
