06 Jeremiah 17:19-27 Does it matter if I take a break?

October 26, 2016

I suspect many of believers today are convinced that Sabbath still means something but have no idea what it is. You take the Bible seriously, you sincerely want to follow and obey God, but in this particular instance you have no idea how to begin, what to do or what not to do. What can we learn from Jeremiah about Sabbath?
Sabbath is the fourth of the ten commandments
Exodus 20:8-11 explains that we rest to remember that God’s work in creating us is done.
Exodus 31:12-17 teaches that Sabbath is a sign of the covenant. Keeping the Sabbath identified you as a member of the Lord's chosen covenant people.
Deuteronomy 5:12-15 teaches that we rest to remember that God redeemed us.
Sabbath is a practical way to remember your dependence on God.
Sabbath is more than leisure and what you do on the outside; it's about who you trust on the inside.
