Theologically we know that Jesus is ultimately our Sabbath rest and that we should not judge each other based upon our observance of it:

"These are a shadow of the things that were to come:  the reality, however, is found in Christ."  Col. 2.16

Practically, how do we experience Jesus as our rest each day?  I think that there is merit to "Remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy," not in a legalistic manner, but as a means of discovering the reality of Christ.  If we lose sight of the object then perhaps we return to the shadow until we find the object again.

So my question is two fold:  Have you/do you practice the Sabbath and what do (or not do) you do during that day?  How have been able to experience Jesus as your Sabbath each day of the week?
