Mark 2:27-28
“The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”
------------------------------------------------
And on the seventh day, God rested… you might ask, so God also gets tired? How come?
No, He did not get tired. It’s just that He took that opportune time to marvel at His creation. And everything was created specifically for us, for us to cultivate and care for.
And God doesn’t get tired. He continually showers us with all the things that we need so we may always remember Him. This is because He does not get tired of loving us. Since the creation to now, He has shown that love for us, even sacrificing His son for our salvation.
So, it is only worthy to put aside one day in a week for us to rest also. It provides us time to commune with God through worship, prayer, song, the study of His Word, through sharing the gospel with others, and fellowship with people and nature.
It provides opportunity to experience God’s presence through companionship in a special way.
Traditional activities (sport, restaurants, etc.), and social necessities (public services, etc.), require some people to work on Sundays, but everyone should still take care to set aside sufficient time for rest and divine worship.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, give me rest. I offer you this day and all the moments of this week, and I implore you to keep me safe from sin. To this end I place myself in your sacred side and under the mantle of our Lady, my Mother. Let your holy angels surround us with peace; and let your blessing be upon us always. Amen +
“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father, my God, the Rock, my savior.’
