Keeping the Sabbath holy is one of the Ten Commandments, yet many Christians wonder whether it is still a commandment that we have to follow. And, if so, how? And why? This talk will explore the theology of the Sabbath. We will think about how the Sabbath is part of creation, why it may be the heart of the Ten Commandments, how Jesus fulfills the Sabbath, and also some practical advice for how we might keep it holy.
