By this question, I mean in the sense of actually celebrating it. In what ways are you festive and enjoy the time you spend, both with Him and with your fellow believers in Christ and/or with your family?
Tell me especially how you enjoy the word of G*d together. Testimonies are welcome concerning any and all of it.
On a theological note (for any who wish to respond to this), I have personal concepts of what I believe the Sabbath was ultimately designed to represent which I've been formulating, and I think it centers around the celebration of harvests, on both a personal and eschatological level:
Eschatologically, I think it represents the end-time harvest and millennium, when G*d and his servants will finally rest from their labors to enjoy the "day" the sickle was thrust in and the harvest was reaped from the earth, to the celebration of all. On a more personal level, I suspect when His people gathered on the 7th day, it was to be a harvest of the revelations and teachings He had given His children during the week (1 Corinthians 14:26), that we may enjoy the weekly harvest of G*d on a practical and spiritual level. Feasting together would be a reflection of this spiritual reality in the natural.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.
