Sabbath: A Divine Opportunity to Redeem Time

John 3:1-8

“In God’s economy, to redeem time, you might just have to waste some.” ~ Mark Buchanan

The Sabbath redeems our understanding of time...

1. Because time belongs to God.

2. Because with God there is always enough time.

3. Because with God time has real meaning.

Sabbath: A Divine Opportunity to Pay Attention

Various Scriptures

"Sabbath is... a period of time to listen to what is most deeply beautiful, nourishing, or true. It is time consecrated with our attention, our mindfulness, honoring those quiet forces of grace and spirit that sustain and heal us.” ~Wayne Muller

We need to take advantage of the divine opportunity to pay attention…

1. So we can kneel down before we fall down.

2. Because there is more to this life than meets the eye.

3. Because we don’t know the day or the time.
