Sabbath Quotes - Page 3

• Salve, Santo Día! la bendición de lo alto
  ilumina tu presencia como una sonrisa de amor,
  Suaviza, como aceite sobre un mar tempestuoso,
  las olas más agitadas del destino humano
  Animando a los buenos, y a los pobres oprimidos
  Llevando la promesa de su descanso celestial.

  Sarah Josepha Hale

  Ánimo, Bendición, Destino

• Sigo siendo agnóstico. Pero en palabras de Elton Richards, ahora soy un agnóstico reverente. Lo cual no es un oxímoron, lo juro. Ahora creo que exista o no exista Dios, existe lo sagrado. La vida es sagrada. El sábado puede ser un día sagrado. La oración puede ser un ritual sagrado. Hay algo trascendente, más allá de lo cotidiano. Es posible que los humanos hayamos creado esta sacralidad nosotros mismos, pero eso no le quita poder ni importancia.

• God is not merely at your fingertips but within your grasp. Live each day like a child digging through an antique treasure chest rifling for the next discovery. Open your arms and your eyes to the God who stands in plain sight and works miracles in your midst. Look for him in your workdays and weekends, in your meeting-filled Mondays and your lazy Saturdays. Search for him in the snowy sunsets and Sabbaths, seasons of Lent and sitting at your table. Pray for—and expect—wonder. For when you search for God, you will discover him.

• The purpose of Sabbath is not simply to rejuvenate yourself in order to do more production, nor is it the pursuit of pleasure. The purpose of Sabbath is to enjoy your God, life in general, what you have accomplished in the world through his help, and the freedom you have in the gospel-the freedom from slavery to any material object or human expectation. The Sabbath is a sign of the hope that we have in the world to come.

• the life of Jesus recapitulates key elements in the earlier story of Israel. For a moment, as Jesus stands on the mountain giving the famous sermon, he is Moses. For a moment, answering his critics about his actions on the sabbath, he is David. For a moment, as he calls and names the twelve disciples, he is perhaps Jacob, bringing the twelve patriarchs into the world. For a moment, healing the sick and raising the dead, he is Elijah or Elisha. And so on. In the transfiguration he actually meets Moses and Elijah.

• No vamos a las reuniones sabáticas para que nos entretengan o incluso sólo
  para ser instruidos. Vamos a adorar al Señor. Es una responsabilidad
  responsabilidad individual, e independientemente de lo que se diga desde el púlpito, si uno
  púlpito, si uno desea adorar al Señor en espíritu y verdad, puede hacerlo
  asistiendo a sus reuniones, participando del sacramento y
  contemplando las bellezas del Evangelio.
  fracaso para ti, has fracasado. Nadie puede adorar por ti. Usted
  debe hacer su propia espera en el Señor.

  Spencer W. Kimball

• To really observe the Sabbath in our day and age! To cease for a whole day from all business, from all work, amidst the frenzied hurry-scurry of our age! To close the stock exchanges, the stores, the factories - how would it be possible? The pulse of life would stop beating and the world perish! The world perish? To the contrary, it would be saved.

• The library was home away from home to my mom, and my family. We had spent every Sunday afternoon there since I was a little boy, wandering around the stacks, pulling out every book with a picture of a pirate ship, a knight, a soldier, or an astronaut. My mom used to say, "This is my church, Ethan. This is how we keep the Sabbath holy in our family.

• Graciousness, courtesy, compassion-this is hesed. Hesed is a quality that extends even to the animals and the land. The sabbath rest principle of Hebrew law included the needs of the livestock (Exod. 23:12). After seven years of planting and harvesting, the land itself needed "a year of complete rest" (Lev. 25:5). Even the soil of the vineyards was not to be overtaxed by planting other crops between the rows (Deut. 22:9). The oxen that trod out the grain were not to be muzzled so that they could eat while they worked (Deut. 25:4). And so on.

• Jesus once caused a sick man to arise on the Sabbath and take up his bed, whereupon the pious of the land raised a great outcry. But Jesus answered with superior contempt that the Sabbath was there for the sake of man, not man for the sake of the Sabbath; consequently, man was also master over the Sabbath.
