Episode 68 -  What's Left of Sabbath Rest

Feb 9, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall

Many of the books written on the topic of biblical rest focus largely on the observance of the Old Testament's fourth commandment. But the seventh-day sabbath is just a small sliver of what the Bible has to say on the topic. The author of Hebrews spends nearly two chapters discussing the "rest that remains for the people of God," yet never mentions the seventh-day sabbath anywhere in his argument.This prompts the question, "What's Left of Sabbath Rest?"
