DAY OF REST
Saturdays are a great day to rejoice in the Lord. It is the seventh day of the week and it should remind us of the Creation of the Lord and His Divine Plan for MAN.(HUMANS)
This is also known as the DAY OF REST because it was on the seventh day that God rested from all HIS works which He had made. There is also a New Tesament Day of Rest.
Heb 4:1-11
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
(KJV)
As it says in verse 8, Joshua, though he led Israel into the Promised Land, did not lead them into the true "Spiritual Rest" that the New Testament Joshua, "JESUS" leads His Followers into.
I can rest in Jesus Christ because He finished the works on Calvary's Cross. He paid the price for me to be redeemed and He was raised from the dead for me to be born again by the same Spirit that He was born of, anointed by, and then resurrected by. It is the same Holy Spirit that birthed the Church on the Day of Pentecost. So today I rest and rejoice and praise the Lord as I do on every day of every week of every month of every year until I go to meet the Lord or He returns to this earth.
