Lesson 21: The Ten Commandments
Embedded Files
Hi AY Family,
God wants us to remember the Sabbath day.
When we do not remember the Sabbath day, we are breaking the fourth commandment in Exodus 20.
Exodus 20:8-11 says: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
When God finished His creation, He rested, not because He was tired, but to set an example for us to follow.
If we do not rest on the Sabbath day and work on that day like all the other days of the week, we will be working non-stop without getting the physical and spiritual rest that we need.
Genesis 2:1-3 says: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
Sincerely,
Samuel Reid
