“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.” —Hebrews 4: 9-10
In the creation story described in the book of Genesis, the Sabbath is identified as the day of rest. After creating earth and all living beings and creatures for six days, God rested on the seventh, naming it the Holy Sabbath – for Christians, Sunday. This passage not only reminds us that God is the creator of all of life, but asks us to be true people of God by resting in him on Sunday. Just as God rested for one day, we too should take the time to enter into a day of rest, rejuvenating our mind, body, and soul through prayer and worship.
Does your behavior on Sunday’s honor God?
Activity: Devote your Sunday to a day of rest. Your work and responsibilities during the week should be put on hold until the next day.
