What's So Special About Sabbath Rest?

The Sabbath is traditionally called a "day of rest." Yet many of us treat it as an opportunity to catch up on chores or shopping. Others, exhausted by labor, use it to recharge for the coming work week. Some, like me when I was a kid, find it deadly boring. But Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel helps us appreciate that Sabbath rest or "menuha," when done properly, is actually a holy opportunty to achieve fulfillment and tranquility.

    It is so strange to hear a Christian teacher emphasise the Jewish meaning of the Sabbath and leave us without our greater rest in Jesus. Doesn't the Sabbath point us to the Work of God in Jesus on our behalf? At least, thats what Hebrews teaches, doesn't it? “To whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey [the unfaithful Israelites in the wilderness]? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us [Christians] as well as to them [the Israelites]; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with FAITH in those who heard it. For we [Christians] who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They [faithless Israelites] shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world [i.e., the works of the Son of God, in creation and salvation]. For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.” Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he [a faithful Christian] who has entered His [God's] rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.” Hebrews 3:18-4:11
