THE FIRST SABBATH IN EDEN
The first Sabbath on earth was the climax of the Creation of our little world. It was a time when the family of God, both in heaven and earth, met in the Garden of Eden. It was a glorious Sabbath, when Adam and Eve worshiped their Maker and praised Him for the precious gift of life. Even the heavenly hosts had gained a deeper appreciation of the Sabbath as the result of watching God create our little world.
Imagine the magnificence of each day of Creation! The angels saw God create each new element: the light, the heavens, the dry land, the grass, the flowers, the trees, the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds that fill the air with song, the creatures that fill the seas, and the animals that roam the earth, both great and small. Then in His finishing touch of creating life, He made man in His own image. Behold how our Creator formed man from the dust of the ground and then breathed into him the breath of life. Adam's blood begins to flow; his heart springs to life; his mind is quickened, and he opens his eyes and sees Jesus. Then God performs the greatest surgery of all time - He takes a rib from Adam's side and makes the most beautiful being - Eve. The two, standing side by side, now bow in adoration to God and dedicate all of whom they are to Him.
In Just six days, God had created a perfect world with perfect beings who were perfectly happy and innocent. Yet God was not finished. The Bible says, "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." Genesis 2:2.
God included the Sabbath in the Creation week, and thus made His creative works to include both work and rest. Having given us the example of working six days, God now invites us to enter into "His rest" each seventh day. See Hebrews 3:18; 4:1,10.
The Sabbath is symbolic of rest in God - of perfect communion with Him - of oneness with our Maker. It represents complete dedication and entire consecration of the whole being to Him. The Sabbath is the one commandment that God has chosen for man to share with Him in its observance. It was on this first Sabbath on earth that God Himself provided for man an example in how to keep the Sabbath day holy.
