Feast Of Sabbath In Christ: (Contn.) Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings (Lev. 23:3). For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience (Heb. 4:10-11). When you celebrate how Christ bore all your sins and sicknesses on the cross, you boldly challenge every power of sin and sickness. You declare you have died to sin, and by His stripes you were healed (1 Pe. 2:24). The list can go on and on. Remember to challenge the challenges by celebrating the finished work of Christ. Celebrate your work: The feast of Sabbath gave grace even to enjoy and celebrate the daily works of man. Before the fall of man, he enjoyed the work of tending and cultivating the land (Ge. 1:28; 2:15,20). He derived all his energy for work from his fellowship with God. After this fall, he had to work with his human strength, sweating and toiling (Ge. 3:17-19,23). Before the fall, he was primarily a worshipper. After the fall, he became a worker. Jesus came to this world to change his priority once again (Jn. 4:23). He finished everything for man on the cross. Now, He expects you to enjoy His Sabbath rest and work out His plan by the strength you get from your celebration. He prepared you life work in Christ (Eph. 2:10). In Christ, God is at work in you effectively, creating in you the desire and the power to work out Gods will for your life (Phil. 2:12-13). With His energy, now you enjoy work and celebrate it. Never think life in Christ is a lazy life. God created man to keep a distance from idle believers (2 Thes. 3:14). Bible saints were known for their hard work and stand as living examples to us. They were never a burden to anyone, but rather channels of blessings and profit. Life in Christ works and toils like Christ. He worked while it was day. Even on the Sabbaths He did good by healing and delivering people (Mt. 12:11-12; Lk. 6:9-10; 13:16; 14:5). Now is the harvest time for you, the child of God (pr. 10:5). Now is day time for the works of God (Jn.9.4). Beloved, Celebrate your rest in Christ and cease from your human striving. Remember Gods intention is for you to begin to work out His will on earth after celebrating His finished work of salvation, healing, deliverance and prosperity. Remember, your salvation, redemption, justification, sanctification and deliverance is Gods free gift to you! Thank You, Lord, For I am Your workmanship, created in Christ jesus for good works, which You prepared beforehand that I should walk in them (Eph. 2:8-10). I have entered Your rest and ceased from my works because I am in Christ (Heb. 4:10).
