Sabbath Delight | Toby Sumpter (Reformed Basics #14)

When Christ saves a man, woman, or child, one of the fundamental gifts He gives is rest. Instead of striving on the treadmill of human performance, Christians are seated in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus. They are seated at a great banqueting table full of bread and wine and every good thing, and they hear the words: eat, drink, and be merry, for your works have already been accepted.

Far from being some Puritan anomaly or Pharisaical vestige of legalism, the Christian Sabbath is the great symbol of Christian rest. In the ancient world and in many impoverished societies, a day off is unheard off. Only the most wealthy, the nobility, royalty get days off, days of rest and leisure. But when Israel was set free from bondage in Egypt, God commanded them to live as free men and women. He called them His royal priesthood, His nobility. The sons and the daughters of the King gather with their Father weekly to feast at His table, to commune with the King, and to rest in His sovereign grace.
