Subject: having to work the sabbath |
Bible Note: Excellent answer, Charis! I feel compelled to add this: The fifth of the Ten Commandments is Exodus 20 8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." This elevates the importance of maintaining the Sabbath to that of things like "you shall have no other gods before Me" or "don't murder", etc. Unfortunately, our culture has forgotten how to be holy, which makes it difficult for those who want to at least try.
