The document discusses the biblical Sabbath, beginning with several passages about proclaiming God's judgment and glory. It then examines concepts of God's glory being his character, presence and light. Several passages are presented that link the Sabbath to God's sanctification and as a sign of sanctification. The Sabbath is described as a day of rest and rejoicing. God is identified as the creator who rested on the seventh day. Jesus' redemption work is connected to his rest in the tomb on the Sabbath. The document encourages choosing to serve the God of the Sabbath.
