The sermon is from Exodus 20:9-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15 – “Remembering the Forgotten Sabbath Day – Part 5.” “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, … and rested on the Sabbath day.” – Exodus 20:11

God rested from his work of creation on the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3). He did not rest because he was tired; he is omnipotent. And he did not rest because he needed any sleep; he is God – he has no need to slumber or sleep (Psalm 121:4). He rested from his work of creation. God completed creation in six 24-hour days and pronounced at the end of the sixth day that it was very good. (Genesis 1:31). Therefore, all men are required to rest on the Sabbath day and call God’s creation “good.” Those who trust and love Jesus Christ are especially called upon to rest on the Lord’s Day – to reflect upon God’s goodness in the world he has made and to worship the Triune God who in Christ loved them and gave himself for them (Galatians 2:20).
