Simplifying Life (Part Five)
Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. MaasThe seventh-day Sabbath is God's original design for rest, sanctification, and ultimate restoration, both for individuals today and for the entire creation in the coming Kingdom of God. The Sabbath is grounded in creation itself (Genesis 2; Exodus 20), blessed and sanctified by God, not as a human tradition but as His divine pattern embedded into the rhythm of the universe. The seventh day, not merely one day in seven, bears God's signature of completeness and perfection, reflected throughout Scripture, music, time, and the feasts of Leviticus 23. In a world enslaved to speed, technology, and self-dependence, the Sabbath stands as a radical act of faith and simplification, a weekly declaration that God, not human effort, sustains life. Sabbath observance is a sign of sanctification and identity (Exodus 31; Ezekiel 20), distinguishing God's people as His own freed from the world's tyranny. The Sabbath is a prophetic symbol of the Millennium, the thousand-year reign of Christ when the entire earth will experience rest and restoration. The Feast of Tabernacles, celebrated as a joyful preview, points to that impending era when resurrected saints will reign with Christ as priests and kings, guiding nations into holiness.
