And then you better do it.

And I totally respect that.

But it seems to me that what Sabbath means is the most important thing.

And I think that's honoring what Jesus said, which he says, the Sabbath is made for humans.

Humans weren't made for the Sabbath.

And so he began to press on what Sabbath observance meant.

No.

But it was to, what does it mean to rest?

What constitutes rest.

Yeah.

But there you see Jesus, what he's saying is that the meaning of the Sabbath is the important thing.

Yeah.

And then Paul takes that another step further and says, you do it on that 24-hour period, that person does it on that 24-hour period.

Don't judge each other about how you're honoring Jesus in those different ways.

So I guess the wisdom is to say it is super important for human images of God to not think that they are God, but rather that they're images of God.

It's super important that we build into our lives rhythms

where we remind ourselves of that, where we imitate God's rest, and where we get a taste of the ultimate Eden rest that's coming for everybody.

And where all of the separations and hierarchies that we create in our patterns of work, all that just goes away, and we just Eden rest for everybody.

That's super important.

And how you and I respond to that will, I think, take a different cultural form than how the Roman churches respond to that in Paul's day, than how Galilean Jewish villagers, you know, responded to it, that Jesus was healing among.
