| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Meaning, since
God permits six days for our labours, we should willingly dedicate
the seventh to serve him wholly." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "The original
reason for hallowing the sabbath, taken from God's resting from the
work of creation on the seventh day, is not here mentioned. Though
this ever remains in force, it is not the only reason. Here it is
taken from Israel's deliverance out of Egypt; for that was typical
of our redemption by Jesus Christ, in remembrance of which the
Christian sabbath was to be observed." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "Dost thou do
no work on this day, which can be done as well on another? Art thou
peculiarly careful on this day, to avoid all conversation, which
does not tend to the knowledge and love of God? Dost thou watch
narrowly over all that are within thy gates, that they too may keep
it holy? And dost thou try every possible means, to bring all men,
wherever you are, to do the same?" |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "In this view,
the allusion to the period of Egyptian bondage (De
5:15), when they themselves were not permitted to observe the
Sabbath either as a day of rest or of public devotion, was
peculiarly seasonable and significant, well fitted to come home to
their business and bosoms." |

Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2003.
| "Congregations are 'soul communities,' in which
young and old are soul-mates, bound together as an extended family
of God, who love, support, and sustain one another. They should
assure that senior adults are cared for and honored as resourceful
contributors to community life, wisdom-givers, exemplars of the
faith, and worthy recipients of care. How do we make this biblical
vision concrete in our lives?" |
