Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!" And he added, "These are the true words of God." Revelation 19:9 NIV We have all sinned and despite all our efforts, we have all failed to save ourselves, remove the stains of our guilt, ease our burdens, and heal our pain. Despite all our efforts, we have not defeated death. In fact, we cannot of ourselves forgive our own sins or take away our guilt and shame. Jesus Christ offers this invitation: "Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 NLT. That rest is Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the most misunderstood word, commandment, day, provision, and gift of God. Christ's mission was clearing the guilt and forgiving sinners. His was a mission of reconciliation, Mercy, and Grace from the very beginning as the Sabbath promotes. Christ affirmed his authority by aligning himself with the Sabbath in this bold claim. "If you had known what these words mean, 'I will have mercy not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Matthew 12:7-8 NIVThis is God's invitation for all to come and experience what so many including Sabbatarians have been missing or misunderstood regarding the significance of the Sabbath in helping us to recognize and fully appreciated God's great love for all. A day has been set aside for you to "...realize that the Sabbath is the Lord's gift to you, and you are Invited to know and experience it.

RSVP follows the book Save The Date, intentionally encourages a definitive response to God's Sabbath invitation as we are reminded to remember the Sabbath Day (ref Exodus 20:8) Christ advises that He alone is Lord of the Sabbath elevating our focus towards his ministry for mankind. (ref Matthew 12:8)The intent is to cast aside any doubt, removing the shadows that darken the heart and minds of those who acknowledge the Sabbath as a special day but do not comprehend the message and character of the Sabbath as it relates to God's salvific ministry for all mankind. Only God makes us Holy (ref Exodus 31:13)There are believers who are without knowledge or through their religious traditions embrace creationism and yet do not tie Jesus Christ to the Sabbath he so proudly kept and proclaimed himself to be Lord of. As a result, they offer a substitutionary day of worship.They are clinging to a pattern, that falsely or ignorantly worships God on a day he has never honored. They also do not comprehend the true message and character of Christ that is found within the Sabbath, nor do they recognize that the Lord of the Sabbath is our Sabbath.A true and authentic revival is needed among Christ's followers: One that is transformative and can only be fully realized by accepting the Sabbath invitation and as we experience God in His Sabbath. It's about time that we respond. It is about time the world sees God's people fully embrace this Gospel. They will be drawn to The Lord of The Sabbath."And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." (Romans 13:11)
