Reclaim the Sabbath

"Sabbath: The Forgotten Commandment

 

As Christians, we generally hold pretty tightly to the ten commandments. But when in comes to that pesky fourth commandment, we tend to either ignore it altogether or observe it legalistically. You know, don’t mow your lawn or play baseball or go shopping on Sunday. Really? Is that what God intended?

I think we need to reclaim the Sabbath.
Jesus healed on the Sabbath, and got in trouble for it. We are not called to be legalistic. But in a culture that goes and goes and goes, where people work on Sundays and play sports on Sundays, where we can read email from our smartphones any time of day, where electricity allows us to stay up as late as we want, where so many people are stressed and anxious and eating poorly, where cities and farmland never sleep, one thing is clear: WE NEED REST."
