Sunday rest

March 29, 2017 – 8:55 am

The phenomenon rest day dates from just after creation. God was finished creating and he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. The word for rest is ‘shabath’ and also means to cease, to desist. To His people Israel he commanded to celebrate the 7th day by not working but resting.

In the New Testament Jesus handles the Sabbath differently than people were used to, using the motto “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”(Mark 2:27). From a day to celebrate and rest is was degenerated into a day full of risks of trespassing Gods commandment not to work. read more »

Doordat Hij het volbracht heeft, mogen wij de rust binnengaan. Door Christus worden wij rechtvaardig en heilig en door hem worden wij verlost. We zijn geroepen om vrij te zijn. Zo ontspannen mogen we leven. Het voelt haast aan als vakantie. Niks moeten, alleen genieten. read more »
