THE ZEST OF VICTORY
Mark 2:23 to Mark 3:5
The old Sabbath was a rest day. It came at the end of the week’s work. Its observance was a recognition of the love that gave us life and time, strength to work, and enjoyment in rest. The new Sabbath is more—a victory day. It tells of Jesus’ victory over sin and death. It comes at the beginning of the week’s work. So we start the week with a song that lasts till Saturday night.
