Every Sabbath points us forward to something greater — the eternal rest we will experience with God. One day, all striving will cease. There will be no more stress, no more toil, no more brokenness. The Sabbath is a weekly rehearsal for heaven!

For Reflection:

Sabbath looks back to the original week of Creation, re-establishes us in the present moment with God, and calls us into the future hope of what is to come.

- Imagine that a child asked you about the encouragement in verse 11: "let us do our best to enter that rest." How might you explain the meaning of that verse?

- How does your Sabbath help you look forward to eternity with God?

- What practices could you adopt that might increase your anticipation of heaven’s joy and peace?
