Sabbath Rest – By Lakshman Navaratne
TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. “The Sabbath was made for man,
Mark 2:27, “And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.”
The Absolute rest for the human soul is Redemption! This is the greatest and the only Miracle, a human shall participate on planet earth!
Scripture says: “many are called, only a few shall be chosen”.
Scripture also says; Matthew 7:13, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14] Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
The KEY to enter, and the gate is “Jesus”, and is hidden in the 66 books of the Bible.
If a human is not redeemed, during this life on earth, the destiny of that soul is the lake of fire!
John 3:18, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. “
Apostle Paul writes, Romans 3:10, “As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
So, the trillion-dollar question for us today; Who can enter this Rest?
Answer: we have to wait for his call! when you hear it, “DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART”!
The key is hidden in the Bible!
Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
The day and the moment you have had this first experience with the VOICE of the helper sent upon humanity on the day of Pentecost, you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Redemption.
TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. This is exactly what happened to Matthew the Tax Collector during the life of Jesus, Saul the Pharisee during the life of the Apostles, and today, myself, the Organic Chemist on the 25th of December 1992. [A]
Matthew 5:18, ““Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”
Now what? The forces of darkness thriving on earth shall have no power over you, only if you allow the new power source occupying your heart to operate Freely.
The first lesson spoken to your heart shall be; Matthew 7:1, “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
According to the Bible; Did Jesus obey the law of the Jews? “No” is the sealed written word, and is the Full New Testament, “New Judaism”, ending the Priesthood forever.
The 12 Apostles of Christ, graduated after an extensive internship with their shepherd, and were crowned with Fire on the day of Pentecost, “Truth Shall Set You Free”.
John 5: 16, “For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
Jesus also said; for the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
The history of the Hebrew nation, no name God of Hebrews operating in their lives, physically set them free from the strongholds of nations around them. All the documented prophesies of the Old Testament, were fulfilled in Jesus as the “Rest” for our Soul.
Revealed to those who have received the Baptism of Pentecost; God of Hebrews is our Maker, and is Pure Spirit, and does not Judge the living or the dead.; Jesus, our Lord and Savior is the Author and the owner of Life.
So, we call him “LORD”!
Only 2000 years ago, this Lord, was the Lamb of God, who became the final Priest and the sacrifice exchanging his life for our Redemption.
The servant Moses, was given the full blueprint of creation, laws to obey, until the fulfilment of every script given to Moses.
Matthew 5:18, ““Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”
The Work of Creation ended on the 6th day, duplicating God Himself (as the Father of humanity) as the first human Adam.
So, Jesus was the Light separated on the First day of creation, through all things were made. According to the Gospel of John, Revelation of this Light to Human is our Redemption!
No where in the universe, is the dwelling place of our eternal Creator. The breath of our Maker was inspired to humanity.
Adam lost the power-house of eternity, eating from the prohibited tree!
Very same moment in eternity, our maker promised a redeemer for mankind. Temporary atonement for his sin was revealed to Adam, using the sinless blood of Animals. The story of Cain and Abel is the revelation of this promise to all mankind. [B]
2000 years to date: True redemption process was completed and accomplished by “Jesus”. [A]
John 19:30, “when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”
The Work of his Father was completed on the cross! [B]
From the day of Abram, Jacob, Moses and David, the law that judged the Hebrews were fulfilled in Jesus as the ultimate judge for all humanity.
From the Day of Pentecost; there were no need for Sacrifice or Priesthood. The redeemer himself made a dwelling in the heart of man!
So, the greatest Miracle, performed on humanity by our Maker is our Redemption!
Genesis 1:27, “So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.”
From the first LOGO of creation, when God separated Light from darkness, the Word was!
Revealed to Apostle John, after the day of Pentecost: Birth of Jesus in the human heart, through all things were made.
According to the word documented by Moses: separation of an offspring (Son) with life, from the Light he separated on the first Logos, continued for six more Logos (word of God) of creative order.
So, Adam was the sixth creative order, first form of a Realm (Son) with eternal blood.
So, human did not originate from any animal life: Adam was directly made from the elements he created (Dust)! [B]
We were placed on planet earth as the sixth order of creation.
The Love story of wisdom and the knowledge of creation was given to the servant Solomon to write the Song of Solomon, by the creator of Mankind.
This is the True Baptism we humans received on the day of Pentecost!
Song of Solomon 1:1, “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth
For your love is better than wine”.
Revealed through the Baptism of Pentecost to a re-born in Christ: the amazing Love that redeemed us from the Grave. This is the revealed love of the Logos, that redeemed us.
Why do we need redemption? The snare from the darkness that brought us death, is revealed to us as the pleasure we receive from the Wine of this world.
Jesus taught his Apostles; Matthew 6:13, “And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen”.
The prophesy of the Old Testament prophet Hosea 6:6 & Matthew 9:13, “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings”.
Grace, we received from the Sacrifice on the Cross has overcome the grave, once and for all, for only those who accept this free offering.
So, my dear brothers and sisters: whatever faith, religion or doctrine you are following; without the acknowledgement of the free gift of salvation, our soul shall perish!
Job, 19:25, “For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;”
3000 human souls of many nations, were set free on the day of Pentecost! [B]
This is the only reason why God made Adam for, Sabbath Rest!
