"Come aside .and rest awhile." (Mark 6:31)

From the Pastor
"Come aside .and rest awhile." (Mark 6:31) There is a harmony between the "Protestant work ethic" and the practice of taking a vacation. Yes, we are commanded: "Six days shalt thou labour.." and the Lord does urge us to "work while it is day," and "whatsoever you do, do it with all thy might as unto the Lord." But the Lord instituted the Sabbath for rest in the first week of His perfect creation ? that was before man's work involved thorns, sweat, "toil and trouble." As busy as Jesus and His disciples were in the work of the Kingdom of God, Jesus became physically tired, and he also urged his disciples: "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while" (Mark 6:31). To take a sabbath ("rest") "once in seven" is a creation ordinance, established in the Old Testament. We are called to rest in order to have strength to work. As we answer the call to worship, we are reminded that we are also called (especially as we anticipate the great and final "Lord's Day") to engage in spiritual labour in order that we may enter into His (heavenly) Rest ? that perfect and eternal Sabbath. (see: Heb.4:1-11).
