Come hear what his Reverence rises to say, in his painted pulpit, this calm Sabbath day. |
Sabbath reminds us that the world will not stop turning if we cease from our labors for a day. |
I'm choosing this example because it is one I face daily, often twice daily, thrice on the Sabbath. |
Suddenly, I find myself muttering the Sabbath blessing my father and mother always used to give over us children at Shabbat. |
The day of worship was changed from the Sabbath under the Law of Moses in the time following Jesus' death and resurrection. |
The point is, hunger and the desire to assuage it had little, if anything, to do with honoring or dishonoring God on the Sabbath. |
