Picture: Q12. Is the Sabbath to be a day of joy or somberness? JTLD 75.1

Jesus longs to heal our brokenness on the Sabbath and bring us peace. The Sabbath is a celebration of Christ’s finished work of creation and His finished work of salvation. It is a day of joy! The dark trials, loneliness, or anxiety of the previous week dissipate under the sunshine of Jesus’ love. The precious hours of the Sabbath provide an opportunity to explore the depths of that love. The Sabbath is a celebration of our relationship with God Himself! JTLD 75.2
