On page one of the Bible, God orders a beautiful world out of chaotic darkness within a sequence of six days. And on the seventh day, God rests. This introduces the major biblical theme of patterns of seven that conclude with God and humans resting together as partners. In this video, we explore the theme of seventh day rest and the biblical concept of Sabbath. We also look at why Jesus adopted this idea as a major part of his own mission to bring God’s Kingdom to earth. These notes explore this theme more thoroughly than a five-minute video. The concept of Sabbath and seventh day rest is rich and complex, woven from start to finish throughout Scripture. Get ready for a lot of patterns of sevens! You’ll quickly discover that the practice of the Sabbath is only one piece of the underlying message the authors are trying to communicate.
