| Rest |
Some Christians take a Sabbath day. Sabbath means rest, and many treat Sunday as their day of rest, while some still prefer the original Sabbath, Saturday. Certainly, as a principle following the spirit of the law, a day of rest is a good idea. However, there is no command anywhere in the New Testament for a letter of the law Sabbath day, Saturday or Sunday. There is however, an offer of rest. Jesus made that suggestion in Matthew 11:16-30. He said, Come to me and I will give you rest. If we prefer to take that as a command in stead of an offer, it would be the only New Testament Sabbath command. It is an invitation to more rest than a physical day off can give. It is a proposal for permanent rest from the burdens of sin.
