Christ vs. the Pharisees on Keeping the Sabbath #2

Has Jesus appointed our weekly Sabbath to be a day of INACTIVITY? Is the rest to which we are called to observe each Lord's Day, a rest of IDLENESS or LAZINESS, doing nothing or sleeping the day away? Hardly! The Lord's Day is for the Christian to be the most exciting day of the week (not a day of boring inactivity)—but the day in which we gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ to meet with our great and glorious God in order to exalt Him. We are to be very active in our praise, in our worship, in being instructed in His truth. We are to be very active in our joy and also in our mercy shown to others (as we shall see today).
