The Sabbath and Its Three Major Themes

In addition to our literally obeying the Fourth Commandment, it’s highly valuable spiritually for us to study, ponder and celebrate the great themes of the Sabbath. The three most important ones are: 1. Creation and the Creator (focusing largely on the past). 2. Salvation and the Savior (focusing largely on the present). 3. The coming Kingdom of God and the King (focusing largely on the future).
