The Significance of the Sabbath
When the six days of creation were finished,
God’s vigor was in no way diminished.
But on the seventh day, He rested,
And with Adam and Eve, He feted.
God sanctified the seventh-day Sabbath,
so that man would remember his Maker,
while resting from life’s jostling and jabbing,
and in God’s rest refreshment partaking.
From day one to day six God was working,
So, none of those days could be the Sabbath.
That is why he said man should work six days,
and rest on His seventh-day Sabbath.
The Sabbath reminds us of creation,
the antithesis of evolution.
Sabbath is of all days the chiefest,
its devotees include no atheists.
Man was made in the image of God,
but because of sin, he became flawed.
God has a plan for man’s recreation,
open to all who seek His salvation.
The Sabbath celebrates recreation
and redemption from sin and damnation.
Because Christ completed salvation’s work
Humans can rest from their own worthless works.
