Resting On 7th Day!!!

Those Who Find Their Advocate on High!!
Now Called Sons and Daughters, Now Called Friends Because They Know Their Master’s Business!!

For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. Exodus 31: 15

Six represents the number of mankind.
For mankind was created on the 6th day of creation.
So six here is meaning mankind, our work, our labor, our offerings to God.

God rested on the 7th day of creation, telling us His works were completed, finished.
He also tells us in Deuteronomy 15: 1, that the 7th year is when debts are paid.
That when a slave has served six years, at the beginning of the 7th year, the slave must be set free without paying anything. Exodus 21: 2

So what we see God telling us about the Sabbath—the 7th day— is that He is setting mankind free!
That He is paying our debts!
That He is giving us freedom!
That He is giving us rest from our labor, giving us freedom from our slavery!

That this is what Jesus, the Jewish Messiah came to do for us, pay our debts, set us free, give us rest, through -God-Jesus’s perfect works.

For we are born with the diseased hearts from Adam and Eve that disobeyed God in Eden.
That kept us away from God.
That kept us walking away from God.
That kept us following our human nature over God, and His life-giving ways.
That we needed a heart transplant.

So we see that God is telling us that He completed this work for us.
That He has given us this rest, this sabbath.
That He made a way for us to be saved.
That He made a way to give us a new heart.
That He made a way for us to rest in His work, what He accomplished, the freedom He offers us through Jesus Christ.

That Jesus offers us His perfect heart.
That Jesus offers us His perfect obedience because of His perfect heart.
That Jesus offers us His perfect thoughts, His perfect actions, His perfect words in place of ours, because of His perfect heart.
That this is the rest, this is the completed work.

So we celebrate and rest on the 7th day, either learning or now knowing that Jesus paid for this, for us.

That while it sounds harsh that we are to be put to death if we work on this day, He means, that if we try, live by trying to accomplish our freedom from our natural hearts—trying to be good enough, trying to make good enough decisions, trying to think good enough all the time, trying to speak good all the time—trying to be good enough for God in our own effort, instead of resting on His works—what Jesus did on the cross— then we will die.

Meaning we lose our eternity, living with God.
Meaning we will lose our eternity of living in God’s kingdom of health, healing, youth, without death, sickness or disease ever again.

Because our very nature needed to be changed.
That we literally could not think good enough in the womb, to meet this perfect standard.
That we will die because we simply cannot achieve this goal in human nature.

May we know that we know that we know we can all find this rest from our laboring, from trying to earn eternal life, from trying to earn our goodness in God’s eyes and from trying to earn our way into Heaven, into God’s Kingdom.

May we know that we know that we know if we accept Jesus’s perfect work, of living perfectly and then dying on the cross, we, will live in, covered in His goodness, for we will receive His perfect heart, and we will be seen by God covered in Jesus’s perfect actions.

May we know that we know that we know the moment we receive this offering from Jesus, we enter into our 7th day, any payment to God is fulfilled, and we begin to live in eternal freedom, in our hearts, our minds, in our spirits and then one day, in eternity with God face to face, living in Jesus’s Kingdom of health, healing, joy and peace—paid for by Jesus, His works for us, that is freely offered to all people.
