The Sabbath in the New Earth Site 31
Narrative for Site 31 on the Sabbath Trail
by Pastor Merlin Knowles
God invites us to cease trying to earn salvation through our own "good works" and simply choose to believe in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour. It is our privilege to know, not just the theory of the gospel, but the power of "His Christ". No wonder the book of Hebrews tells us to be eager to enter that rest that humanity craves and needs so desperately. Jesus Himself is our Sabbath rest and it is fitting that worshipping God on the Sabbath day will be continued by God's children even when the earth is re-created after sin and sinners are no more.

The Sabbath in the New Earth
"Let us be eager to know this rest for ourselves..." And "we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells." "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." Heb. 4:11, 2 Pet. 3:13, Is. 66:23
