179 – Why did God rest on the original Sabbath day?
Was God tired? What does it mean for God to rest?
How does this apply to you and me?
Is there something we need to know about the original Sabbath day, that helps us find a Biblical rest and what it really means to obey the Fourth Commandment?
In this week's episode, I talk with Gregory Hall about what the original Sabbath is and how we can remember it the way God intended.
Here are some of the things we talked about:
- How some people misunderstand the 4th Commandment
- What the 4th Commandment is actually asking us to do
- What is true Biblical rest?
- How did Jesus think about the Sabbath?
- What kind of rest did Jesus offer us?
- What day of the week is the real Sabbath? (It's not what you think!)
These are just a few of the questions we dove into.
We also talked about Greg's new book Rethinking Rest, Why Our Approach to Sabbath Isn't Working.*
And check out Greg's podcast: Rethinking Scripture podcast.
