God showed me something about Sabbath this week that I have never seen before. Can I just say this is one of the great reasons we keep reading the Bible! There is no limit to the depth of the knowledge that awaits us. I love the movie Troy with Brad Pitt. Admittedly the acting isn’t the best but the story is superb. And every time Achilles and Hector fight each other, even though I know how it’s going to end, even though I already know the outcome, even though I’ve seen this scene more times than I can count…I find myself feeling like maybe, just maybe Hector will win today! You see, that story is fixed. That outcome has already been determined. Don’t bring that mindset into your Bible reading! Come each day with a fresh expectation that God is going to show you something new…because He can! In the message tonight, I’m going to walk you through the story of Joseph bringing his sons to Jacob for a blessing and then the story of Jacob when he was younger stealing his brother’s birthright and blessing. Finally we’ll work through the story of creation and I’ll show you what God showed me this week. There is a connection between those first two stories and the reason why God instituted a weekly Sabbath. For some of you, this understanding about Sabbath is going to set you free. For some of you, this understanding about Sabbath is going to transform your life. For all of us, this understanding about Sabbath is going bring about a restfulness our depleted souls desperately need!
