Taking the Sabbath

In today’s busy life, it’s important to remember that although the specifics of the biblical sabbath don’t apply to us today, the principle of taking rest is just as vital. Bill Clark continues our Dwell series by exploring the Sabbath.

Exodus 20:8-10a (NIV)

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days shall you labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall do no work...

Isaiah 58:13-14 (NIV)

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...then you will find joy in the Lord.

Mark 2:23-28 (NIV)

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
