God’s Plan ‘A’ calls us to be disciples, or apprentices, of Jesus, ambassadors of reconciliation, telling of, and living out loud, the love we’ve received to people the world over. This is a huge task, now 2000 years in the doing. God knows our fragile, mortal frame, that we are made from dust, and that we require times of rest. God, too, after six days of creating, chose to rest and bless His work, declaring the day holy, a respite from working. He then generously gifted to us this holy day, this Sabbath, so that we could be fully present to Him and savor this oasis, His refreshment.
