Contemplative Bible Reading

Mark 2:27-28 (Holman Standard Christian Bible)

27 Then He told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

The Sabbath is rest. It is God’s gift to man—rest for the weary.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. The give us all rest from the burden of our sins. Jesus is the rest of rests. The premiere relief from toil and suffering. The highest or Lord of the Sabbath rest.

Thank you God for rest from our burdens. Thank you that Your Son took our burdens and gave us rest.

Note: looking through this blog, I find that this is the third time I have written about Mark 2:27 with each having a different commentary. Such is the richness of the Word.
