Following Jesus
In our fast-paced world, we often find ourselves exhausted and running on empty. But what if there's a divine gift we've been overlooking? This message delves into the concept of Sabbath, not as a restrictive rule, but as God's loving provision for our well-being. Drawing from Genesis 2 and the Ten Commandments, we're reminded that God himself modeled rest, making it a sacred part of creation. The Sabbath isn't about legalism; it's about trust, restoration, and putting God in His rightful place. As we explore Jesus' teachings in Matthew 12, we see how He redefined Sabbath, emphasizing mercy and healing over rigid observance. This challenges us to rethink our approach to rest and how it can transform our relationship with God and others. Are we brave enough to embrace this counter-cultural practice and find true restoration in Christ?
