God commands us to observe the Sabbath because He cares about us and we care about Him. How are you with Sabbath?

From Exodus 35:1-3

1. The Sabbath is part of a healthy rhythm for life. (v.2)
2. The Sabbath is intended for rest. (v.2,3)
3. The Sabbath is holy and for the Lord. (v.2)
4. Not observing the Sabbath has negative consequences (v.2)

Applications

1. Check your calendars and schedules to see if you live a life that honors Sabbath. (Concept of Sabbath Ladder)

2. The Sabbath is a day for:
a. Personal care
b. Family and community care
c. God care

3. Sabbath is a Date with God, space and time for us to experience the gospel and be made whole again.

God gave us the gospel to create a safe environment to look beneath the surface. I don’t have to prove that I’m lovable or valuable. I don’t have to be right all the time. I can be vulnerable and be myself even if others don’t accept me. I can even take risks and fail. Why? Because God sees the 90 percent of the iceberg
hidden below the surface, and he utterly, totally loves me in Christ."*

*From The Emotionally Healthy Church, Peter L. Scazzero
