January Week 3
Matthew 11:28–30 – “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest… For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“The Sabbath is not a time for personal anxieties or care or any activity that might dampen in the spirit of joy. The Sabbath is not a time to remember sins, to confess or to repent. It is a day of praise, not a day of petitions. Fasting and mourning and demonstrations of grief are forbidden. It is a sin to be sad on the Sabbath. For the Sabbath is a day of harmony and peace between man and man, peace within man, and peace with all things” (Sabbath, by Abraham Joshua Herschel, p. 30-31).
