The document discusses the Sabbath and what it means to keep the Sabbath holy. It provides several key points about the Sabbath:
1) The Sabbath is a day of rest dedicated to God to remember God's power in creation and our role as stewards.
2) It is meant to be a day of thankfulness for our liberation from sin and a reminder of God's plan for our full communion with Him.
3) Rather than just physical rest, the Sabbath involves serving others through acts of love, mercy, and benevolence without limits of time or place.
This is a study of Jesus as a man of rest. He rested as did His Father, and He made it possible for believers to have eternal rest, and rest in time as well.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
3. Rest to remember.
Rest to be thankful.
Rest for everyone.
Rest to serve.
Rest dedicated to God.
Friday was sometimes called “the preparation day,” but
the only day in the Jewish calendar with its own name was
the Sabbath. Its own name means “rest.”
The Sabbath rest goes beyond physical rest. We will see
that by studying the two versions of the fourth
commandment, and other verses about the Sabbath and
how to keep it.
How can we find rest on Sabbath?
4. The power of God. He created this world and
everything on it, even human beings (Ex. 20:11;
Gn. 1).
We should also remember that we were created
in a special way. We are different to the other
creatures on Earth. We were made in the image
of God (Gn. 1:27; 9:6).
Lastly, we should remember that we are responsible for taking care of God’s creation. We
are stewards of His creation (Gn. 1:28; 2:15).
What should we remember on Sabbath?
After six thousand years of sin, the Sabbath
is a reminder of God’s plan for us since
before Creation. It gives us hope that one
day we Will enjoy full communion with God
again (Is. 66:23).
5. “And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord
your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an
outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep
the Sabbath day” (Deuteronomy 5:15)
Were we slaves? The Jews were, but we have never been slaves… Or have we?
Let’s read Romans 6:17-18.
Sin has enslaved us all, no exceptions. The
Sabbath is a moment to thank God for having
liberated us from the slavery of sin through the
precious blood of Jesus.
The fourth commandment gives us rest with the
salvation that God got for us with His mighty arm.
“Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son,
and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”
(Galatians 4:7)
6. This commandment was given at Creation, so it’s for
everyone. Therefore, God commanded Israel to share
the blessings of the Sabbath rest with everyone
around them.
The Christian Church has received Israel’s privileges
(1P. 2:9). We are also called to share these blessings
with everyone around us.
So according to the commandment, we
should treat others with love and respect.
We must not abuse or mistreat anyone,
not even any animal.
7. “So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has
bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath”
(Luke 13:16)
We should not keep from serving others
on Sabbath. On the contrary, the
Sabbath is a day for serving others.
Jesus healed people on Sabbath,
although that was against the strict
Pharisaic customs about rest.
He considered this a crucial matter. He even challenged the
Pharisees by commanding a man who had just been healed to
carry his bed on Sabbath. That was forbidden by their tradition,
not by the commandment (Jn. 5:1-17).
God does not want pointless worship that does not lead to loving
and caring for others (Is. 58:2-4; 13-14). The Sabbath rest
involves service.
8. “According to the fourth commandment the
Sabbath was dedicated to rest and religious
worship. All secular employment was to be
suspended, but works of mercy and
benevolence were in accordance with the
purpose of the Lord. They were not to be
limited by time or place. To relieve the
afflicted, to comfort the sorrowing, is a labor
of love that does honor to God’s holy day.”
E. G. W. (My Life Today, August 15)
9. The Sabbath is a sign that identifies us as God’s people.
It reminds us that we belong to God, and that both our
work and our rest are for Him.
This is not a sign exclusive to Abraham’s physical
descendants. When we accept Jesus, he become
“Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
(Gal. 3:29).
The Sabbath reminds us of our origin, our liberation
from sin, and our responsibility for the weak.
The Sabbath is quality time with our Creator and
Redeemer. He invites us to enter His rest (Heb. 4:9-10).
10. “The Sabbath is a sign of the
relationship existing between God
and His people, a sign that they are
His obedient subjects, that they
keep holy His law. The observance
of the Sabbath is the means
ordained by God of preserving a
knowledge of Himself and of
distinguishing between His loyal
subjects and the transgressors of
His law.”
E. G. W. (Testimonies for the Church, book 8, cp. 32, p. 198)
