The Blessedness Of Keeping The Sabbath

Isaiah 56:1, 2  

"Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation 

is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is 

the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold 

on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, 

and keepeth his hand from doing any evil." 

        Special emphasis is laid on Sabbath keeping because it was the special sign of God’s connection with Israel. It was also a type and pledge of the redemption rest, soon to be brought in and perfected by Christ’s finished work, "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (Heb. 4:9-10).
        What an ideal, that is presented here for character and conduct! To keep God’s rest in our heart; the rest of faith; to cease from ourselves; to be joined to the Lord by one Spirit; to minister to Him; to love His name; to be His servants! What more could we imagine as characteristic of the Christian soul! Let us ask God to bring us to His "holy mountain" and to make us "joyful" in His "house of prayer."

        Amen!!
