Last week, I told our church that during September, I'm going to try to talk about all the major Sabbath texts. Today, I made a list. These might not all qualify as "major," but they are all the places in the Bible that say something unique about the Sabbath. To make it easier, I've added a brief summary for each text.
- Genesis 1-2 - God created the universe in six days, and on the seventh day, God rested. That’s why we rest one day a week.
- Exodus 16:21-31 - God sends enough manna on the 6th day so that the Israelites can stay home and rest on the seventh for a Sabbath.
- Exodus 20:8-11 - Rest on the seventh day because God rested after 6 days of creation.
