I DENTITY The Gift of Sabbath reminds us of our true identity.
• Sabbath rest reminds us that we are loved by him when we “do nothing” because spending time with God and those we love is not nothing—it is the most important something we can do.
F REEDOM The Gift of Sabbath reminds us of our freedom.
• We are not the victim of our busyness—we are the author of our busyness.

• Rest

How might you take a step this week to open God’s gift of Sabbath?
“The Sabbath was to Time what the Temple was to Place. The Temple was where heaven and earth met, held together in a dangerous symbiosis, with the image-bearing humans standing at the fault line in worship and obedience. The Sabbath was where the Age to Come broke into the Present Age…again with the human beings standing at the threshold in a single moment of rest and celebration.” // N.T. Wright
