Warfield: The Lord’s Day is an “Oasis”
R. Andrew Myers
⬩
“This is the day of gladness and triumph, on which the Lord broke the bonds of the grave, abolishing death and bringing life and immortality to light....This is the day on which the tired body rests from its appointed labor; on which the worn spirit finds opportunity for recuperation; an oasis in the desert of earthly cares, when we can escape for a moment from the treadmill toil of daily life and, at leisure from ourselves, refresh our souls in God.” — B.B. Warfield, The Foundations of the Sabbath in the Word of God (1916)
