If Christ has not been raised, Paul says, then Christians are “of all people most to be pitied.” But why should we be pitied when we live with such joy?

More than any other kind of person, Christians are able to delight in creation because they are not bound to worship it.

Sabbath is not only a principle for rest, but the context from which we live. We work and play and have our being from the grace of rest in God.
