Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and the reading.
Bound by legalism, the Pharisees could not rest; they were always “working” at accusing Jesus, refusing to rest in him. There was always some other ordinance that must be kept. They were never satisfied, projecting that God also was never satisfied.
Jesus came to release us from bondage, setting us free to enjoy a continual Sabbath by exulting in life. Every day with Jesus is Sabbath rest, for he shares the yoke of our lives. “Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28).
Jesus is your Sabbath. Let him give you rest as he does his work in you. He came to relieve you of all other negative movements that work against the rest he longs to give you.
