“When we turn to the New Testament, the Sabbath command still holds, but there is a new wrinkle: every work for God begins from a position of rest. In Ephesians 2:6 we read that “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus . . .” . . . Every good work . . . begins with resting in what Christ accomplished for us on the cross.”
