12And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever profanes it must surely be put to death. Anyone who does work on that day must be cut off from his people. 15Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
16The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a lasting covenant for the generations to come. 17It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
Those who are under the New Covenant are not bound by the Old Covenant.
The question is, are Christians bound by the sabbath? No
Does the Lord honor those who worship Him? Yes
It is good for you to have a day of rest on a weekly basis. In our busy, fast paced world this always doesn’t happen and it will eventually catch up to you.
But can you also do too much for the Lord?
When we were in the nursery ministry at our current church we did both services and all the special events. We rarely had enough help and after a year without being able to attend service or worship we got burned out.
There needs to be a balance.
There needs to be time on a weekly basis to remember what the Lord did for us and to worship Him.
What about you?
Blessings, David
