(Study Guide) A New Sabbath: Rest in Christ

In this sermon by Dwell City Church, Pastor Steven Wilhoit explores the concept of a "new Sabbath" as presented in John 5:1-18. He explains how Jesus, through a miraculous healing on the Sabbath, demonstrates that true rest is found not in a specific day or religious practices, but in His person and finished work. The sermon illustrates that the old covenant's emphasis on a day of rest is superseded by Christ, who offers spiritual healing and an eternal rest that restores humanity to a state of peace, akin to the Garden of Eden. The passage highlights the shift from adherence to a rigid law to finding ultimate rest and wholeness through faith in Jesus.
