If we read the Bible closely, we will discover that, originally, there were not sacred places as much as there were sacred events. This is why the rabbis write that their Sabbaths are their great cathedrals, because neither the Roman Centurions nor the German “Blitzkrieg” could tear down a shrine that was built in time. They could not desecrate a Passover, or burn down a Day of Atonement, or damage a Feast of Booths. These are not holy things, but holy moments. What if you and I operated under the same principle? What if we lived as if we believed that God could not be restricted to buildings, to places, or to spaces? What if we focused our attention less on where we are, as it relates to God’s presence, and more on when we are in God’s presence?
Prepare for a video journey like no other you’ve experienced! “The Sabbath” is personal, relevant, entertaining, engaging, and more importantly, a deeply insightful examination of what the commandment to honor the Lord’s Day really means.
