Overview

Excerpt from Seven Lectures on the Sabbath: Delivered by Request of the Society for the Better Observance of the Sabbath, in the Town Hall, Woolwich, in the Months of March and April, 1852 N ow, if we take these two periods together - the period before the giving of the law, -and the period that 1s measured by the New Testament dispensation, along with Old Testament times, which lie between them, we find a principle which, touching on either side the Sabbatic law, as embodied in the fourth com mandment, enables us to span the whole of time - the example of God in the original institution reaching onwards to the giving Of that law on Mount Sinai, and then the example of Christ at the introduction Of the New Testament dispensation for the change of the day, I say we find thus a principle, spanning the whole of time, and setting forth the Sabbath, like God's bow in the clouds, spanning the heavens, a blessed symbol Of God's gracious covenant in Christ with men, Of that blessed rest which is to be found in the once crucified, but now risen and glorified Redeemer, and which shall last till the Sabbath of a glorified church, and Of a glorified world shall dawn, and which proclaims each week, as it returns, God's Offer of that covenant Where fore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your soul shall live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies Of David. Isaiah lv. 2, 3.
