From the Introduction

Why would the disciples of Jesus keep the seventh-day biblical Sabbath? The Sabbath is its own reward. The reward for keeping the Sabbath is that we get to keep the Sabbath. The biblical, seventh-day Sabbath creates a weekly cycle of encounters with holiness. Once a week, God beckons us to enter into a sanctuary in time where our souls can find spiritual rest and nourishment in his presence.

On the Sabbath, we can set aside the cares and concerns of daily life and focus on the things of the kingdom of heaven. The Sabbath allows us to slow down enough to spend quality time in God’s presence, learning the things of his Word and plugging into extended periods of prayer, study, and worship. On the Sabbath, we spend time with our families and reconnect with fellow believers, fellowshiping under a pervading sense of the holiness of the day.
