COL 2: Free sharing!
Some Christian groups believe that the Sabbath should be kept even in the NT age. The Seventh Day Adventists are an example. Another example is Messianic Jews. But I believe if their motivation for keeping the Sabbath is so that they can lead Jews to Christ, I think it’s okay. As Paul said in 1 Cor 9:20, “…to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law…”
But if a Christian believes that the Sabbath should be kept like in the OT and that the Sabbath is a special day that everyone should observe as a day of worship, then I think that person doesn’t understand Col 2:16-17, which says, “So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or SABBATHS (capital letters mine), which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.”
Paul is teaching that much of the law doesn’t need to be kept in the age of grace, and that includes the teachings on the Sabbath. So we shouldn’t let anyone judge us about whether we keep the Sabbath or not! Jesus has fulfilled the law, so we don’t have to! It’s a new age we’re living in, so we must learn what grace is and begin to walk in it, and not the law!
