The Sabbath

The Sabbath was designed to restore and reinvigorate the people after the toil of the previous week's work. It was given so that they might have a period of leisure in order to meditate on the Scriptures and rejoice in God's goodness and grace. It was not designed to trip men up, but to refresh them. The Sabbath was given for the benefit of man and not the other way around, which is why we read that Jesus said to them.
"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath."

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are not bound by religious laws and legalistic practices, but have been made a new creation in Christ. He is our Sabbath rest, not only during our time on earth, but in the eternal ages to come. Thank You that we are not bound by the burdensome rules and regulations of the Law, but have recognized that the Law was a tool You used to point sinners to Jesus Christ. In Christ, we find true rest and refreshment as we abide in Him and He in us. May we worship You in spirit and truth every day of the week, and take every opportunity to meet with others as we worship You together and enjoy Christian fellowship in our Homes, Churches, Chapels and Communities. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
