Sabbath Rest and True Humility

Aug 31, 2025 • Alex Cain

A Sabbath dinner at a Pharisee's house becomes the setting for healing and a lesson about seats of honor. Tracing the Sabbath from creation through Jubilee to the rest promised in Hebrews, the sermon shows that Jesus does not discard the Sabbath but reveals its fuller meaning as restoration for all. It cautions against caricaturing the Pharisees, and it argues that pride and status-seeking keep us from the rest God gives the humble.
