Ten Commandments, 4: Remember the Sabbath 第四誡:守安息日

In today's world, almost everybody knows about weekends. Most people work (or go to school) from Monday to Friday, then they spend a day or two resting. But where did this idea come from? Why not work seven days a week? The answer lies in the Fourth Commandment。安息日使希伯來奴才得以解放,有機會全面休息。週末的觀念來自第四誡,但某些人偏偏不想休息。那種人算不算自由呢?其實,他們只不過是『金錢的奴才』啊!


Below are some questions to think about:



1.  Explain in your own words what the Fourth Commandment means.

2.  How did this commandment elevate the human being?

3.  What effect did this commandment have on slavery?

4.  What does it mean if youʼre a millionaire who works seven days a week?

5.  What are some of the effects on a personʼs life when this commandment is
observed?
