Know the Rules Before You Break the Rules

Film classes

This month we are going to be talking about Sabbath. A lot of nuance to how important is it, how do you do it, is a command for Christians…

But it is one of the ten commandments (same list as don’t commit adultery and don’t murder). And before we get very far in our discussion of sabbath, I want you to start by just experiencing it.

Here’s the command

Exodus 20:8-11

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

• You (and family you have direct authority over), do no work on one full day this week. That means no job, and it means no chores.
• Furthermore, typical Jewish practice we will get into later was to honor the sabbath by not doing any commerce either. So don’t buy anything that day.
• So this will take a touch of planning (for instance what are you going to have for dinner)
• Rest, enjoy what God has given you, spend time with loved ones…
