Walter Brueggemann writes, “Sabbath is the great day of equality when all are equally at rest. Not all are equal in production. Some perform much more effectively than others.”11 On the Sabbath, all get to rest! We are freed to not have to do more, sell more, control more, know more, be involved in more, focus on our appearance more, or score more. The Sabbath changes our relationship to others and breaks us from one-upmanship.
