Deut. 5:12–15
Isa. 56:1–8
Matt. 11:25–30
Acts 2:42–47
Every age has different assumptions about work and rest, but these are not new issues. The pattern of work and rest is in the earliest chapters of the Bible. Immediately after the fall, work becomes toil—which is when work becomes filled with frustrations, and success is always mixed with failure. Into this situation comes the 4th commandment concerning the Sabbath. In this message, we look at the meaning of the commandment, and the blessings that come to those who obey it.
