Sabbath Day Rest
God's Sabbath was broken by man's sin, and God can have no Sabbath while men lie like the man Who Christ healed at the Bethesda pool, while men are broken and bruised. God has no Sabbath while men lie in a derelict condition. God knows no Sabbath because man has lost his Sabbath. "My Father worketh even until now, and I work." John 5:17.
We read in Genesis that God created everything in 6 days, saw that it was good, and rested from His work; but from the moment in which man sinned, and so involved himself with suffering; God became active with a new activity. God is restless in the presence of sin and all its consequent suffering until man gets his rest. He came in His Father's name, a mission.
God was willing to give up His Sabbath, so man could find his.
