Sabbath Day (God’s Day of Rest) The Journey
-
- Christianity
In this episode, we tackle the controversial topic called the Sabbath Day. What is it? Who is it for? Is it still relevant in our time? How should it be observed?
Physical rest:
Exodus 23:12 “Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed…”
Isaiah 58:13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words…”
Spiritual rest:
Scholars have said that it should be a day of spiritual rest in which believers ought to lay aside their own work to allow God to work in them. Others have said that in dealing with sin, God calls us to turn from our works to his grace. Salvation is “by God’s grace and not our work”Ephesians 2:8-9, so we can rest in that truth.
The sabbath ordinance is rooted in both creation and of redemption and it does in this way; It looks backward to God's good creation in Gen 2:2 and 2 and it looks forward to the final redemptive sabbath rest for God's people that we see in Hebrews 4:1-11
Additional Scriptures mentioned:
Exodus 20:8-11
Deuteronomy 5:12-15
Our goal for this podcast:
To encourage you in the study of God's Word no matter where you are in that journey
To use your knowledge to encourage your family and friends
To elevate your heart of worship that stems from knowing God better
What our Podcast isn't. This is not the church!
Why do we say this? Because the Bible commands us on what a christian gathering should look like? Heb 10:24-25, Rom 12:4-5
What is the importance of a local church membership? For your spiritual health and for the mutual edification
For a shepherd to be able to give account of you and you also be accountable (Heb 13:17)
