Sabbath (1)

By the seventh day 
      God had finished his work. 
   On the seventh day 
      he rested from all his work. 
   God blessed the seventh day. 
      He made it a Holy Day 
   Because on that day he rested from his work, 
      all the creating God had done.
-Genesis 2:2-4 (The Message)

Today is the Christian Sabbath, designated so by the early church as a rememberance and a witness to all that on this day, Jesus rose from the grave, death was surely defeated, and victory had been won. Because of this, we can rest.

So rest.

Reflect.

Remember.

And wonder anew.

It is to be part of the rhythm of a life lived with God.
