The Everyday Sabbath

Today you wait.

Luke 23:50-53

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.

Born to a family in Israel. He was known as the son of the carpenter.

But he was also God's son.

He lived like us... but without sin.

Completely blameless, he died in your place.

Lifeless. Buried. Now we wait.

For Jesus promised that the grave could not hold him.

But today, we wait.

What does Jesus' burial teach you about the deep humility of your Savior?

Isaiah 44:6 “This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. Read the context A forger needs you to trust the source. Don't dig deeper or follow the paper trail. An idol works the same way: your job, your image, your future plans. The idol looks trustworthy until life proves it worthless. God doesn't need your trust to be legitimate. He's the first and the last. He verified himself by redeeming you. You...

Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God;the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they reveal knowledge. The precepts of the Lord are right,giving joy to the heart.The commands of the Lord are radiant, — giving light to the eyes. Read the context How do you know God? There's the way everyone knows there is a god: Look out at nature! It's telling you there is a creator! But that message isn't enough. It isn't a message that saves....

Jer. 23:28–29 Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? Read the context The prophets in Jeremiah's were rounding off the sharp corners of God's Word. Why? Because the truth hurt — God's people had sinned! Scripture is powerful. There are times when what it says will hurt. Don't...
