From the beginning, the Sabbath has been a marker to separate one week from another. God performs His creative work for six days and then enters into His rest, and this sets up the pattern for all of human history afterwards. In the days of promise under the old covenant, the people of God toiled in anticipation of future rest. In the new covenant, Christ becomes the new Adam in the new garden and initiates the new creation with His resurrection on the first day of the week. The day has moved but so far from destroying the old principles, a Lord's Day Sabbath fulfills and explains the old principles. We now work out of our rest instead of for it. Christ is our final Sabbath rest, and we rehearse for eternity each week when we set aside the business of the other six days in order to be fed by Christ through worship, through fellowship, and through a day of not only enjoying peace but in being intentional to extend it to those around us.
