Usually just one or two scriptures answer these type of discussions. e.g. the Sabbath was made FOR man - and not man for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27). And Christ is Lord of the Sabbath, and we should 'Call the Sabbath a delight'' (Isaiah 58:13). If it was given to the human race as a 'delight' and a rest day in the past - do we not today need even more of a rest from this crazy world? Tell me if you think my reasoning is wrong.

My answer to this anonymous commentator's question is contained in the title of this post. Yes, we need even more of a rest from this crazy world today than folks in the past did, and that rest is found in the ONE whom the physical seventh day Sabbath pointed to: Jesus Christ! Indeed, he once said: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29, NLT) And another anonymous commentator once said: "For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest." (Hebrews 4:10-11, NLT) We have this invitation to accept the true rest and peace of God. It is found in accepting and obeying Jesus Christ, our Savior!
