True Sabbath Rest Restored

Preparing For The Holy Day, March 2

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8. OFC 64.1

At the very beginning of the fourth commandment the Lord said, “Remember.” He knew that amid the multitude of cares and perplexities man would be tempted to excuse himself from meeting the full requirement of the law, or would forget its sacred importance. Therefore He said: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” OFC 64.2

All through the week we are to have the Sabbath in mind and be making preparation to keep it according to the commandment.... OFC 64.3

When the Sabbath is thus remembered, the temporal will not be allowed to encroach upon the spiritual. No duty pertaining to the six working days will be left for the Sabbath. During the week our energies will not be so exhausted in temporal labor that on the day when the Lord rested and was refreshed we shall be too weary to engage in His service.... OFC 64.4
