Doxa: Jesus, the Sabbath Rest (Week 13)

Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath and found himself in conflict, not for healing, but for "working." In this conflict He revealed Himself as the Son of God, the fulfillment of the Sabbath. The truth of the Gospel is that it is not work (or lack of work) that saves you. It is rest … Sabbath rest… a complete dependance on God, that saves you. Jesus is the sabbath rest sent from God, the fulfillment of the Sabbath. No longer do you have to work to earn God's favor, but simply rest on the grace of Jesus Christ alone.
