God's Sabbath rest was rudely interrupted by sin, but God in His grace knew before the foundation of the world that man would disobey Him and His work of redemption would have to begin at a point in time. God foreknew that man would sin against Him and that only the shed blood of a perfect Redeemer could pay the price for the sin of the whole world. So He purposed to send His only begotten Son to be born into the human race to pay the price for sin. And so began God's ongoing work of redemption. The salvation of man's spirit, soul, and body became God's Continuous Work Of Salvation from the moment that man sinned. God's Sabbath rest was halted, and He began His amazing work of redeeming fallen humanity, which was why the Lord Jesus answered the Pharisees by saying: "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." Indeed, the day was fast approaching when Christ's redeeming work on the Cross would result in the defeat of sin and victory over death for all who would believe in His name. Each member of the Church has their own unique role in the salvation of mankind, and that work of salvation; spirit, soul, and body, will continue until there is a new heaven, a new earth, and eternal rest for the Creator and His creation alike. John 5:17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, Who has become our current, continuous, and eternal Sabbath rest. Thank You for Your ongoing work in the lives of both sinners and those that are saved by grace through faith. Thank You for our own salvation, justification, sanctification, and future glorification. You started good works in us, and we pray that it will be completed in the day of Christ Jesus, to His greater glory. May we rest in You Who is our Sabbath rest so that You may work through us for the benefit of others and for Your praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
