God was not
tired when He rested on the seventh day of Creation. He did not rest from
exhaustion; He did not rest from sin. He was simply done working.
So He
stopped.
Day 1: Day
and night.
Work done. Next
task.
Day 2: Sky.
Work done. Next
task.
Day 3: Dry
land and plant life.
It was good.
Work Done. Next task.
Day 4: Ordering
the cosmos.
It was good.
Work done. Next task.
Day 5: Sea
life.
It was good.
Work done. Next task.
Day 6:
Beasts and man.
The work was all done. It was all very good.
Day 7: He stopped. There was nothing more to do.
No next
task: there is no next task. It is finished.
At some
unspecified point…. Adam sins.
It was bad.
Work begins again.
Next task: bring
mankind to salvation; heal the breach between man and God.
To do list: Prepare
a lineage for the Savior. Preserve the people until the coming of the Savior. Prepare
laws and prophets that identify the Savior. Be born. Fulfill laws and prophets.
Die. Be resurrected.
(JON. 19:
30) So when Jesus had received the
sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And
bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
The work of
salvation was finished. The veil was torn and the breach between man and God was healed. This is the
very definition of “Savior”. It was all very good.
So He
stopped. Not because He was tired, but because He was finished.
He sat down.
You can rest
with Him from laboring to achieve salvation. He will give it to you, as a free gift. Just accept and believe that He is
your Savior and stop trying to earn it yourself. Rest with Him.
Rest in Him.
Rest in Him.
(HEB. 4: 3a) For we who have believed do enter that rest
(HEB. 4: 9-10) 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has
himself also ceased from his works as
God did from His.
