Sunday Rest – a Commandment ignored by 21st c. christians
Just another Senseless Sunday

A Sunday REST? Some will remember the alliterative song, “It’s Just Another Manic Monday.” Now we rush through our senseless Sundays no differently than a ‘manic Monday.’

In that sense, recalling when everything once CLOSED ON SUNDAY, now we long for those Sundays when the supermarket wasn’t overcrowded and our mail carrier didn’t deliver our latest online purchase to our door.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:27 NASB

Today’s sermon was so good I took two naps! (That was after I returned home, Pastor.) I needed that Sunday rest.

Don’t you?

Jesus invites us to rest, actually inviting the weary (and who isn’t?) to come beside Him in life. Unfortunately, Christians and Jews seem to do no better at rest or taking a day off for the Lord God.

In today’s Summer Scriptural Rerun the Messiah points us to the LORD’s Commandment given to Israel through Moses that we so easily disobey.

Excerpts from:

Exodus 15, 20 & 31

King over the Abyss of Darkness
Judgment from the places of Darkness

Jesus Christ defeated the accuser of the world in a most unexpected way. The Lord died sinless on a Cross, descended into Hell, then rose again to the throne of Heaven to judge the living and the dead.

God had banished an angel from heaven just as the Lord had sent man from Eden. The place of Light now separated from darkness, as it was in the beginning.

Apostles (all beloved brothers of John) suffer cruel deaths. First century saints suffered cruel deaths as Christians for following The Way of the Messiah Jesus. Christ reveals the mysteries of heaven to John. Judgment is yet to come for those who oppose the Lord God! Satan and death are defeated and Christ will reign once more.

The Apocalypse of John

ἀποκάλυψις – apokalypsis

Literally, the unveiling.

But most believers prefer the comfort of John’s Gospel or assurance to the saints in his three letters.

Are Christians also scared of the dark?

Or is it that we just can’t bear to consider the wrath of God’s judgment and punishment of sin?

A Witness through John 3:16.. but wait, there’s more!
The Bible’s best known verse

Like many I have written about John 3:16 in the past. But wait, there’s more. More here in John’s Good News than just a pithy reference to love in the Bible.

Hopefully you read yesterday’s Scriptural Rerun from this same series ‘God’s Love through John.’ Today’s post from the same 2018 series explores connections of John’s most famous verse not only to all of John 3, but also other Scriptures which bring the Cross into context.

Scriptures

John 3:16 * in context

Numbers 21:7

Isaiah 6

Psalm 9:8

John 1

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE
- A quote from John Wesley
- and a personal invitation from this author:
Jesus would love you! (o mortal of dust)
