People often ask me how to Sabbath before understanding why God made the Sabbath in the first place. This is like accepting a dinner invitation with friends based only on the menu. How hurt they would be if you chose not to accept because your options elsewhere seemed better suited to your palate. Jesus extends an invitation to resist working one day a week for deepening relationship and protection from influences that pull us away from him. He gave the Sabbath in great love, knowing the weekly union will satiate a deep hunger for belonging.
