Sunday's lection is one of so many passages in the Gospels on the observance of the Sabbath Day. So many sermons have been preached and will be preached on this topic. (Sunday's passage reminds me of one of Albert Einstein's famous quotes: If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it.)
Friends, God needs a day off. =)
All of us need a break. Actually, almost all of us. There are people who are born wealthy and who will die wealthier without ever working one minute of their entire lives. They represent one third of the world's richest people. This post is not about them.
There are Church Workers whose official day off falls on Mondays. But they have never, ever, had a single day off. Even the land needs a Sabbath. And so does Mother Earth.
Please, take a day off! If God needs one, then so do God's children.
