God commands all mankind that for six days we are to labor, and one we are to rest. That day, as established by the resurrection of Christ and the practice of the Apostles, is Sunday - The Lord’s Day. Nevertheless, the Sabbath is not only one of the Ten Commandments, but it is also an ordinance set forth by God himself on the seventh day of the Creation story. Proclaim the freedom of rest to your congregation this Sunday. We rest from our work and we meditate upon our Savior, Jesus Christ.
