Sabbath - Ceasing

I just want to share my sermon on Sabbath-Ceasing with you. My hope is that you may be blessed and strengthened by it. It was delivered in Indonesian at IRECT, my church in Canada.

I Owe Myself to Him Twice Over

In His first work of creation, He gave me myself. But in His new creation, He gave me Himself. By that gift of redemption, He also gave me back myself, restoring me to the self that I had lost. Given and regiven, I owe myself to Him twice over.

- Bernard of Clairvaux

Terjemahan bebas: Dalam karya penciptaan yang semula, Ia memberikan padaku diriku. Namun dalam penciptaan baru, Ia memberikan padaku diri-Nya. Dengan karunia penebusan itu, Ia pun memberikan diriku kembali, mengembalikanku pada diriku yg telah pernah hilang. Sudah diberi, diberi lagi, aku berhutang padanya dua kali.
