[Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest E01] "Our Sabbath Rest" by Apostle Russell Toohey

In the sermon "Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest," Apostle Russell Toohey explores how Jesus provides rest from the anxiety, terror, and worry that are prevalent in the world today. The sermon highlights that the world's system of work and rest can create "captivity and pain," similar to the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt. Christian salvation, like the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, should bring freedom from this "worldly work-rest slavery bondage." Ultimately, the sermon concludes that Jesus is our "true and permanent Sabbath Rest". He fulfilled the law that no one could completely obey, providing rest from the unsuccessful striving to overcome sin. Through his "precious blood," Jesus provides forgiveness and freedom from "shame guilt and condemnation".
