PRESIDENT'S ESSAY
Sabbath hands
POSTED
April 11, 2013

Sabbath-keeping is about what you do with your hands.

Hands are organs for action. We set our hands to tasks. We give or withhold our hands from helping.

You keep Sabbath by opening your hands, rather than grasping with them (cf. Deuteronomy 15:3, 7). Sabbath hands release debts, give food to the hungry and clothing to the naked.

You keep Sabbath by guarding your hands, so they do nothing profane, no evil (Isaiah 56:2).
