I like this – A great reflection of the hymn I like the idea of “Old Words” . I do think it’s timely.

Comment on Rediscovering the Sabbath by Chris Cree

It’s important to remember that we are under an entirely different covenant than Israel was (and still is). Their covenant was basically “if you do these actions, you will see these results – both blessings and curses.” (See Deuteronomy 28 for a huge list of blessings and curses.)

Our covenant is entirely based on the work of Jesus. He is the fulfillment of the law. Once we believe in our hearts that he was raised from the dead and actually say out loud that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9-10) then we get Jesus’ righteousness put in our account. It’s as if we are constantly fulfilling all the points of the law just like Jesus did, regardless of our actions.

Our faith in Jesus entitles us to all the blessings and exempts us from every curse under the law. However, if we go back to the “Egypt” of keeping rules, such as the Sabbath, looking for a blessing then we fall back under the Old Covenant of the Law. (Galatians 2:18-20)

All that to say it’s not about keeping the Sabbath so much as it is resting in the Lord. Rest is a good thing for sure. We have this overwhelming tendency towards striving. Jesus said his yoke is easy and his burden light. We forget that and make it way harder than it needs to be. Sometimes though it can almost be an effort to stop striving and rest in Christ.
