Seven years: the value of rest. bread church
-
- Christianity
The importance of rest is instituted in the very first verses of the Bible.
After six days of creation, God rests. We, as people made in his image, are
called to rest like him. Sabbath is more than just a day off each week.
Sabbath means to stop, rest - but also to delight in creation, worship God
and receive from him. A regular weekly rhythm of rest is essential for us
to live as the images of God we were created to be.
