The Sabbath Day is the feast-day of the soul. It is the day of “rest and gladness” that ought to be the highlight of every believer’s week.
Many Christians today view “Sabbath observance” as unbiblical, outdated, and unnecessary, and are therefore content to abandon it altogether. Oftentimes, insisting that the Lord’s Day should be a day of rest from our ordinary work is seen as legalistic. Yet, God instituted the Sabbath for the good of all creation. His command to rest is not a burden; it is the believer’s greatest delight.
