Theologically we know that Jesus is ultimately our Sabbath rest and that we should not judge each other based upon our observance of it:<\/p>\n
\n"These are a shadow of the things that were to come: the reality, however, is found in Christ." Col. 2.16<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
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.<\/p>\n
