Eternal Sabbath

by

At the end of His work, God rested (Genesis 2:2-3). From the beginning of time, God instituted the Sabbath. God not only commands this rhythm of rest (Exodus 20:8-11), but it foreshadows the rest He will give to those who love and honor Him once their work for Him on earth is done (Hebrews 4:1-13). The eternal Sabbath is the goal of all who proclaim Christ as Lord.

One of the great mysteries of our God is that He is a triune God. We serve one God, but He exists in three persons. He is not three different gods, but the one true God, existing in three persons who are all equal. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are of the same essence. There is not space enough here to do an in-depth explanation of the Trinity. My purpose here is to warn against a wrong understanding of the Trinity because it is of vital importance to understanding the gospel.

For now, the Trinity must be something we accept by faith, even though we do not comprehend its possibility.
