In Accord With the Sabbath

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. John 5:16-17

“Christ would teach His disciples and His enemies that the service of God is first of all. The object of God’s work in this world is the redemption of man; therefore that which is necessary to be done on the Sabbath in the accomplishment of this work is in accord with the Sabbath law.”

—The Desire of Ages, p. 285

Sabbath Tip
Not every type of work is forbidden on the seventh day; in fact, there are some kinds of work we should do. We can safely follow Jesus' example when deciding which activities are appropriate on God’s sacred day. What are some ways you have worked, or would like to work, for the encouragement and salvation of others on the Sabbath?
