The fourth commandment about keeping the Sabbath holy functions as a hinge between loving God and loving others, establishing how we prioritize our relationship with the divine.
• God created humans to live in rhythm, demonstrated by His own pattern of six days of work followed by rest
• Jesus clarified that the Sabbath was intended as a blessing, not a burden
• Early Christians shifted from the Jewish Sabbath (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown) to Sunday worship because of the resurrection
• The principle of Sabbath matters more than the specific day it's observed
• Adam and Eve's first full day was a Sabbath—they weren't resting from work but resting for work
• Sabbath practice means giving God our first and best, not just with finances but especially with time
• When God isn't first in our lives, everything falls out of order
• "If the devil can't make you bad, he'll make you busy"
We challenge you to live in God's rhythm by setting aside one day each week to stop, rest, refocus on Christ, connect with loved ones, and worship so you can be the man God has called you to be.
