The Zest of Victory

Sunday. Mark 2: 23 — 3: 5.

The old Sabbath was a rest day. It came at the end of the week’s work. Its observance was a recognition of the love that gave us life and time, strength to work, and enjoyment in rest. The new Sabbath is more — a victory day. It tells of Jesus’ victory over sin and death. It comes at the beginning of the week’s work. So we start the week with a song that lasts till Saturday night.
