What was intended by God to be a celebration reflecting on his goodness and the goodness of his creation has been, once again, replaced by the devil’s false forms of celebration: drunkenness, loss of self-control, and debauchery. We sell ourselves short by celebrating for celebration’s sake rather than for God’s sake. The authentic call to Sabbath is to enter into celebration as God intended it to be, not what we think it should be.
