We find rest working for God
The Sabbath is about our ceasing from
our own works and doing the works of God.
This verse in Exodus 20 tells us that
the Sabbath is about resting.
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD
made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested
the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
In this verse in Hebrews God
is talking about resting from His own works calling it the Sabbath.
Hebrews 4:4 For He has spoken in a
certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh
day from all His works”
In this verse in Hebrews we see to
honor the Sabbath that we are to cease from our own works.
Hebrews 4:10 for he who has entered
His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
When we do the works of God and quit
doing our own work, then we find rest.
Mat 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you and
learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls.
Mat 11:30 “For My yoke is easy and My
burden is light.”
The yoke refers to work.

Jesus worked every day 24/7. John 5:16 so, because Jesus was doing these
things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
John 5:17 in his defense Jesus said
to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am
working.”
Jesus only does what the Father is
doing: John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son
can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing,
because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
When Jesus was working by talking to
the woman at the well He said to His disciples: John 4:32 But he said to them,
“I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
When you are in the Spirit you can
work all of the time and find rest. When you are in the flesh you cannot please
God and you find that you are tired. Let us do the works of God every day and
find pleasure in them.
