Sabbath Encouragement
“They that see how fit they are to be forever banished from the presence of the Most High, and how exceeding unworthy to come into it, can not but infinitely and excessively prize that love of Jesus Christ, this day to come and enter into his rest, and lie in his very bosom all the day long, and as a most loving friend loth to part with them till needs must and that the day is done.” —Thomas Shepard (Theses Sabbaticae, p. 261)
