Dear brothers and sisters, we come to third and final foundation message on the fourth Commandment (there will be more messages that will build on this foundation in coming weeks). I trust you have seen the emphases of these texts as we have worked our way through them. Mark 2:27-28 - the Lord of the Sabbath wants us to benefit from the day. Exodus 20:8-11 - God, who Himself rested on this day, wants us to remember the Sabbath. Our text this Sunday is Isaiah 58:12-14. Here we will consider together that God wants us to delight in the day, and that delighting in the day gives way to a fresh delight in God Himself. He has tied these two things together - delight in the Sabbath and delight in the Lord of the Sabbath. And as we discovered in John 14:21, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." So the question that we must ask ourselves is this - does my view of the Sabbath manifest a desire for more of Christ?
