In a work-obsessed nation, the Fourth Commandment is God’s oasis.

Rather than debate its binding force, hear Jesus: ‘The Sabbath was made for man’ (Mark 2:27). The Sabbath isn’t a burden but a blessing—for:

REST
This command frees us to trust God: we don’t need to work 24/7. Push that hard and we break. Instead, rest—pause, lie down, breathe. Stressed and sleepless? Recover God’s Genesis rhythm: one-in-seven for your soul.

REMEMBER
The Sabbath is meant for us to remember God—how He is both Creator and Saviour. We align ourselves with Him as we repent and rejoice. This is often the spiritual lifeline for busy people in a cosmopolitan world.

RELIEVE
We can be full of good works and of service to others. As Jesus said, “It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
