Eternal Rest Today: Practicing Sabbath as a Foretaste of Our Future

The theme of rest for God’s people is woven throughout the pages of Scripture and is most clearly tied to the weekly Sabbath. The command for God’s people to keep Sabbath one day out of seven is rooted both in God’s own rest following his creation of the world (Ex 20) and in his work of redeeming Israel from slavery (Deut 5). But how does this apply to us who now participate in the redemptive rest given to us through Christ yet await a final sabbath rest (Heb 4)? This session will explore how Sabbath practices as Christians anticipate and prepare us for our final resurrection-rest in God, when we will abide eternally in his presence, free of toil.
