Christ Will Give You Rest

Description

Is the Sabbath still required for Christians? Opinions range from indifference to strict observance, yet few explore the question across the whole sweep of Scripture. In this thoughtful and accessible study, Beau M. Landers traces the theme of Sabbath from the Old Testament to its fulfilment in Christ. Beginning with the Sabbath as a sign of the Mosaic covenant, Landers examines how it tested Israel's loyalty and pointed to God's sanctifying work. The heart of the discussion lies in Jesus' declaration that he fulfils the Law (Matt. 5:17). By following the biblical-theological thread to its climax in Christ, readers are invited to reconsider the meaning of Sabbath and its implications for faithful Christian living today.
