The Third Commandment

In this profound exploration of the Third Commandment, we delve into the true meaning of remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy. The message reminds us that holiness isn't about rigid adherence to rules, but about recognizing God's claim on our lives. We're challenged to rethink our understanding of 'rest' - not as a 24-hour period of inactivity, but as a continuous state of being in God's presence. The story of manna in the desert illustrates God's provision for our rest, while the modern example of Chick-fil-A's Sunday closures shows how prioritizing rest can lead to growth. This message invites us to find regular, consistent times of Sabbath in our daily lives, encouraging us to step away from the noise and busyness to simply be with God. It's a call to recognize our own holiness as God's chosen people and to work from a place of rest, rather than exhaustion.
