The Lord of the Sabbath

from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female slave or your cattle or your immigrant who stays with you.” (Exodus 20:8-10)This commandment, which joins the needs of the vulnerable—of the immigrant and the lowly creatures in your care—with the needs of your sons and daughters, captures the truth of the Sabbath’s purpose: to supplant the empty work we do each day in the service of greed with the substantive work of hearing and doing the teaching of Scripture. It is no coincidence that encoded within this instruction we find the very thing that saves us. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the Matthew 12:9-13.Episode 292 Matthew 12:9-13 Subscribe: feedpress.me/the-bible-as-literature; Music from https://filmmusic.io: “Whisky on the Mississippi” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
