Our culture rewards hustle. Hard work is seen as an essential quality in the people we want leading us and working for us. Busyness is the default mode for most. Yet the Bible teaches us of the need to slow down, stop, and rest. It’s even built into the structure of our weeks. So why do we find it so hard? And why do we do it so infrequently? The Jews had so misunderstood the purpose of the sabbath that they had turned the keeping of the sabbath into a job to do- exactly the opposite of it’s purpose. So what about us? Have we missed out on the sabbath? Do we still need it? Is it still commanded? Understanding the role of the sabbath teaches us much greater truths about the law, ourselves, and Jesus.
