We are commanded to Sabbath.  But this is not just a command; it is also a blessing, for we need rest.  To the legalistic religious leaders who had turned the Sabbath into a burden rather than a blessing, Jesus restores the Sabbath’s appropriate place as a gift of time to rest and relax.  Part of walking the discipleship path and becoming more like Jesus is knowing when to rest in His grace.  Are we taking advantage of this?

Set aside a time this week to simply rest and refresh your mind and body.

Have a conversation around the topic of rest and Sabbath.
