The Sabbath symbolizes our rest and confidence in our Creator and Savior, Jesus. We trust Him for our salvation, and not our own righteousness. The purpose of the Sabbath is not to save us, but to show our gratitude to Jesus for His marvelous grace! To worship on the seventh day is to accept the authority of our Creator Lord, who commanded the day be kept. Jesus invites us into His rest on the Sabbath, freeing us from the stress and burdens of our work week. Jesus rested at creation and in the tomb both as a culmination of His creative and redemptive work. JTL5 3.1
