1. It’s a commandment.

Our sense of meaning is found in the love of God, not in what we produce with our hands. This is why Sabbath keeping is an indispensable practice. As we rest, we announce to ourselves and the world that our identities come from a different place.

- Rich Villodas

2. It’s a witness.

God’s people can make more money in 6 days then others make in 7 because the Lord is their provider.

Sabbath is both a day and an attitude to nurture such stillness. It is both time on a calendar and a disposition of the heart. It is a day we enter, but just as much a way we see. Sabbath imparts the rest of God-actual physical, mental, spiritual rest, but also the rest of God-the things of God's nature and presence we miss in our busyness.

- Mark Buchanan

3. It’s a blessing.

This image comes to mind when I think of Sabbath: It's a small yet ample chunk of space, a narrow yet full segment of time. In it, you can lie down and rest. From it, you can rise up and go-stronger, lighter, ready to work again with vigor and a clear mind. It is room enough, time enough, in which to relinquish all encumbrances, to act as though their existence has nothing whatsoever to do with your own. It is an invitation, at one and the same time, to empty yourself and fill yourself.

- Mark Buchanan
