Scripture: Genesis 2:1-3, Deuteronomy 5:12-15, Mark 2:23-28
“The Sabbath is not a fast, but a feast, a day for rejoicing in the works of a gracious God, and joy must be its temper throughout. Joy suits no person so much as a saint, and it becomes no season as well as a Sabbath.”
J.I. Packer
“O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness, most beautiful, most bright,
On you the high and lowly, through ages joined in tune,
Sing ‘Holy, holy, holy’ to the great God triune.”
Christopher Wordsworth
“Sunday feels odd without church in the morning. It’s the time in the week when we take our bearings, and, if we miss it, we’re just following our noses.”
Garrison Keillor
“People who keep Sabbath live all seven days differently.”
