At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat. But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him; how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

To honor the Sabbath means to “keep it holy,” and holy simply means “set apart.” Our Sabbath should look different than the other six days of our week. In this Plan, we’ll discuss what it is, what it isn’t, how it looks today, and finding our true rest in Jesus.

One of the most critical determinants of our life as believers is how we interpret scripture. This plan takes a look at Jesus as our interpreter of scripture and what that means for our approach to reading the bible. We pray that it makes your time in the scripture even more life-giving!
Is “remember the Sabbath” a biblical suggestion that has fallen out of fashion or an inconvenient rule that gets in the way of a full life? Neither says musician and spiritual adviser Justin McRoberts. Instead, this five-day study of the Sabbath, excerpted from his book Sacred Strides, is an invitation to fully experience the Love of God in our work through our rest.
