[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

God created – all complete:
finished, nothing to repeat.
    Now mankind may likewise rest
    from their labours, share the best
    fellowship with God above:
    sabbath given them in love.

Jesus saved – it’s all complete:
finished, nothing to repeat.
    So, believers share his rest,
    and appreciate the best
    fellowship with God. They treasure
    Sunday’s taste of heavenly pleasure!

Tune: 77 77 77 eg Dix (tune of ‘As with gladness men of old’)

Yes Rhiannon it is very contravertial whether the sabbath must (still) be (strictly) observed in the New Testament. I am quite comfortable with your interpretation here.

All the best, have a good day! Nolan &

The weekly sabbath is a blessing to enable physical refreshment, but also to remind us (and others not yet believers) of our need and benefit and duty to give time to our Saviour and Maker, to fellowship with him and study his Words, hear them taught, think about them, remember Jesus risen on the Sunday!

I hope you have a good day too! Rhiannon
