Life in Sabbath is Freedom and life, but Life without Sabbath is death and slavery.
Exodus 1:
One of the central themes of the Sabbath is that it represents freedom and liberty.
The Sabbath is when God was free from work.
Mankind becomes free from labor on the Sabbath as well.
The exodus story is the opposite of Sabbath.
In the garden of Eden, man and woman experienced freedom through the Sabbath, but when we come to the exodus, they are experiencing life without the Sabbath slavery.
Pharoah works the children of Israel to death.
Their savior is a prince who rises out of the waters to speak God’s words to all people.
( A little bit of Jesus)
The 10 plagues in Egypt are a reverse of the 10 words in and 2.
God is uncreating the Egyptian reality and the Bible wants us to know that our only hope is when we go back to Sabbath and Edenic rest.
Exodus plagues:
Water turned to Blood
Frogs (5 day of creation Genesis 1:20)
Gnats
Flies
Egyptian Livestock Die (6 day of creation Genesis 1:24)
Boils
Hail
Locusts (day 3 vegetation sprouted up Genesis 1:11)
Darkness (1st day of light and darkness Genesis 1:3-5)
Death of Firstborn (6th day of creation )
The Israelites flee form a life of work (Egypt) into a life of rest (wilderness) where they can be in God’s presence away from all the distractions of the world.
But before they would experience Sabbath rest in the wilderness they would first have to experience Sabbath in the Passover.
Exodus 12:1-
Hebrews started their year with the passover.
Exodus 12:14-
The passover is many things:
Celebration of no more work.
Celebration of deliverance from slavery.
A week long Sabbath.
Celebration that God is bringing us back to Eden.
All of this should give us a better understanding of Sabbath.
Sabbath isn’t simply about rest, but about depending on God.
God had promised that He would provide for his people.
He asks his people to eat unleavened bread and have their bags packed in anticipation of deliverance.
In the same way, we celebrate Sabbath in anticipation of God delivering us from sin, from work, so that we can come into his perfect, sustaining rest.
Sabbath is the wilderness and the Passover.
Passover because it is deliverance or stop from work.
Wilderness because they get to be in God’s presence and worship him once again.
This Sabbath think about how it is a deliverance from work and a chance to be in God’s presence.
