What is the purpose of the Sabbath? In Exodus 20:8-11, we learn that the purpose of the Sabbath is to be a reminder and secondly a blessing. It is clear when we read the New Testament and passages such as the one in Isaiah 58:6-9 that, Jesus lived a different Sabbath; to Him, Sabbath is a lifestyle. When we look at what Jesus did on the Sabbath, we learn that we are called to live free and refreshed, live generously and to live for each opportunity.
