Sabbath did not begin with commandments—it began with creation. Long before Israel existed, God established a rhythm of work and rest that ordered time itself. Rooted in the Jewish understanding of Genesis, Sabbath was woven into the fabric of life as a gift, not a restriction. God rested to show humanity how to live, not because He was tired, but because He was setting a pattern. This message returns us to God’s original design and reminds us that biblical rest is not a reaction to burnout—it is alignment with the way God created the world to work.
