And this is excectly what i ment, in genesis God set apart the 7th day to "rest"altho he was not tired!
So that resting day, must mean something else!
Its a refferens to Hiseternal rest and to the Lord of the shabbath,
Altho its made to a law to israel after Egypt,and a sign to that convenant, it also sais.
The law was added because of the trngressions UNTIL.....
the until was already a promise in genesis.
In those first 7 days of creation God is putting His plan to salvatiom.
And everything that is writtten afterwards is pointing to the same thing.
The fact that He made it Hislaw. does not mean that it startedout that way.
So....the 7th day for me is a memorial, and i think its a beaytifull memorial.
Again...i dont "keep"shabbat, neither do i"keep"torah,since the torah is 5 books with more then thelaw.
Its HIS story!
And when Jesus came, the goal of that story ended.
To go on with freedom by grace through faith.
By faith we obey
By grace we can obey
Freedom is not a licence to sin.

The Rest that is Jesus Christ is peace - inner heart and mind changing peace to the depths of your soul. It is not keeping a day or a memorial to the Sabbath. If one wants to recognize/remember the 7th as the day that God rested from Creation, cool. For some, everyday is glorification to God for that.

Mat 11:27 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Mat 11:28 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
