I typically end up "working" twice as hard on the Sabbath as I do any other day of the week. As I always say, the Priests did double the work on the Sabbath. Sure, they ministered to God and His people every day, but they did twice as much on the Sabbath.

I intend on "working" even more today, on the Sabbath.

When one is at rest in Father through Son, it seems to me one works even more yet with a joy and peace that passes all understanding, rather than the stress that would never let one rest
the Difference is works oif the Law brings stress, where there is no rest
Ans the Works of God's Spirit brings rest as it is God's work by Faith working through us as did Christ rest while Father did the works through him and is why he said take on his burden it is light and his yoke it is easy
Thanks Matt
 
Amen! We had a great day today. In our 2nd service, we had our youth teach the adults about how to treat others, and how to deal with gossip, slander and offenses. There was some awesome revelation that came from our youth. And having been at church for 8 hours, I definintely did "double duty". And I can think of nothing more restful that washing dishes for 70 people's lunch!

It was a blessed day to be sure!

To love and praise in help to one another is the fulfillment of Love and all Law
Even when I do not let another drive if they have drank too much and to me to have even one drink, please have compassion and do not drive and play God on the road, and they hate me for a short while, then call up later and say thank you for loving them to stop them form harming others
Discipline is very important and God is our refiner in love, even in what we see as not good, when we are rebuked as Jonah was after the Ninevites repented, notice he was mad at God for giving them Mercy and God dealt with Jonah to teach Joinah not to be self righteous, and to repent himself? God is good in all things whether they appear good or bad, for I bet through the tragedies we are being refined to get out all the dross that is in us, and have consideration compassion one for the other
 
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. [SUP]10 [/SUP]And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. [SUP]11 [/SUP]And He said to them, What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? [SUP]12 [/SUP]How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” [SUP]13 [/SUP]Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other. [SUP]14 [/SUP]But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

Yeah mad at God's Love and at Jesus who was taking their place and then no one would come to their place of worship, seeking this Christ and thus no income, so what cause was there by these religious leaders to kill Christ, was it Job security?
Selfish want to be the leader, want to be served rather than serve
 
thanks for your acceptance of my apology. it was lawful to good on the sabbath. the Law speaks of that. but there were serious restrictions on what could be done on the sabbath. unlike today's customized (non) sabbath keepers.

one today as I see this either follows the letter of the law, tries to
Or one walks in Spirit with Father and Son, too simple as Christ showed us to just depend on Father and Father will do all the works through us as Father did through Son
Today by son Christ we are made one with Father for Father to lead as Father did Christ in the Spirit of Father,
So why not trust Father to lead as did Christ?
