Pastor Ben concludes our series on Sabbath by reflecting on the theme of feasting. Yes, feasting! The Sabbath is supposed to be a day in our present that points to our eschatological future. (Eschatology comes from the Greek, eschatos – literally translated – final discourse.) Eschatology is essentially the study of last things, the study of the end times. New Testament eschatology envisions the end of all things as a great wedding feast (Rev. 19:9).

Sabbath is intended to be a gift in the midst of our present reality that what’s at end of our story is joy. A future where the dwelling place of God will be with humanity. A future where all tears will one day be wiped away.

And so, on the Sabbath we raise our glasses in celebration that though that great day has not yet come in all its fullness, it has already been fully secured for us in Jesus.
