Jesus redefines the purpose and intention of the Sabbath, not as something that was meant to be restrictive, but something to draw us into worship. Living a life that includes sabbath proclaims with your life that Jesus is Lord and we don't have to be slaves to our culture, our careers, or our schedules.
