Genesis opens with God resting on the seventh day. Revelation closes with a rest that never ends. Between those two bookends, God keeps inviting His people to stop striving and simply rest — through manna in the wilderness, a fourth commandment, a Year of Jubilee, and finally through Jesus Himself.
The Sabbath: From Creation to Christ is a six-part mini devotional that follows that thread all the way through Scripture: rest at creation, rest as a covenant sign in the wilderness, rest in the Psalms and Prophets, Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath, and the theology of true rest in Hebrews. Each part closes with "Search the Scriptures" questions to help you study the passages for yourself, with room to write out what you find.
If you've been carrying burdens God never asked you to carry, or working to earn a rest that was already finished on the cross, this study was written for you.
Work through it on your own or with your Bible study group.
