Bible background: The Sabbath

At the end of creation week God rested on the seventh day, blessed it and made it holy. At Sinai He placed the Sabbath at the heart of the Ten Commandments: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy,” pointing back to Him as the Creator of heaven and earth.

Jesus kept the Sabbath “as his custom was,” healed on it and taught that “the sabbath was made for man.” Scripture calls it a sign between God and His people, a day of delight, and a rest the redeemed will still keep in the new earth.
