The Real Sabbath Rest

From Sharon Avery's Facebook:

"Comment by bro Jimmie Lee Robbins>>> The Sabbath simply means the ending of activity, the cessation of effort. God was not tired by his creative work, he did not need to rest to restore strength. He did not stop because he was fatigued; he stopped because he was through."

"The true Sabbath, is not the keeping of a special day but the ending of a specific effort. That is what sabbath means. "So God rested from all his work which he had done in creation" (Gen 2:3). This is the last account of any creative activity.""

"The true sabbath is a rest; the Jewish sabbath is a shadow, a picture of that rest. All the Old Testament shadows pointed to Christ."

"We need to understand this and stop trying to live in shadows. These Old Testament shadows were looking forward to the coming of the One who would fulfill these and thus end them. When the work of Jesus Christ was finished the shadows were no longer needed."
