“…By embodying a Sabbath rhythm to life, pastors and religious leaders can model appropriate rest and healthy boundaries between work and home life. As Gallagher (2019) notes, churches, Christian universities, and ministry organizations are called to promote an environment and work culture that exudes Sabbath rest. Along with individual spiritual practices, collective forms of worship clearly have promise in creating healthy boundaries between the work and family spheres.…”

“…The Sabbath refers to one day a week that the Hebrew people were ordained by God to no longer work (Exodus 23:12). Gallagher (2019) puts forth a ''theology of rest'' beginning with religious ministers, a group with one of the highest amounts of burnout and attrition (Adams et al 2017). By embodying a Sabbath rhythm to life, pastors and religious leaders can model appropriate rest and healthy boundaries between work and home life.…”

North American employees face substantial challenges in managing their work and family lives. Drawing from Hobfoll’s 2001 conservation of resources (COR) theory, work-family scholars have argued that some resources can be effective in buffering conflict in the work-family interface. We analyze data from a national sample of Canadian workers ( N = 3,431) to assess how two components of religion/spirituality—religious attendance and divine control—buffer the mental health effects of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC). Results suggest that both work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict were associated with higher levels of psychological distress. Our results further reveal that religious attendance buffered the pernicious effects of both WFC and FWC for psychological distress, while divine control only buffered the effects of FWC. These patterns did not appear to differ by gender. Given increasing rates of work-family strain in the North American context, out findings call for a broadening of the literature on the work-family interface, one that takes into consideration the overlooked role of religion and spirituality.

“…Selain itu, Luisa J. Gallagher menyatakan bahwa refleksi teologis yang bijaksana terhadap pemaknaan hari sabat dapat mengurangi kelelahan psikis dan stress dalam pelayanan Kristen. 8 Harus diakui bahwa ada kesalahpahaman berhubungan dengan arti istirahat seperti yang disebutkan di atas. Pertama, pada umumnya istirahat dipahami sebagai ketiadaan pekerjaan.…”

Theology of Rest emerged when scholars became interested in research on the sabbath. This is because the understanding of Jews, Christians and some Christian factions have different views on the meaning of the Sabbath. Although the debate over the legality of the Sabbath has reached a point where it depends on the meaning believed by each of these groups, it is necessary to conduct research on the basic meaning of the Sabbath and its development in canonical books. Thus, the theology of rest is built not only on a cultural basis, but on the revelation of God's Word. Topical analysis and intertextual texts will shed light on the basic meaning and development of the idea of the Sabbath in building a theology of rest. Finally, a theological formulation of the rest (sabbath) is based on careful analysis of biblical texts.

“…Ritual keagamaan seperti berdoa, membaca kebenaran firman Tuhan memberikan suatu kelepasan dari berbagai kepenatan karena adanya komunikasi interpersonal antara manusia dan Tuhan (Hough, 2019). Selain itu, perjumpaan dengan Tuhan pada hari Sabat membuat orang percaya mendapatkan perspektif baru yang seimbang tentang kehidupan dan pelayanan kepada sesama dengan efektif serta makin memaknai keselamatan yang telah dikerjakan Allah dalam diri manusia (Gallagher, 2019).…”

The Sabbath is God's mandate for man to rest from all affairs and work. It began when God stopped creating the heavens and the earth and everything in them on the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3). God appointed the Sabbath as a day of rest. Since God rested, humans who were created in God's image must rest also. One of the most beautiful blessings that come from the Sabbath is refreshment. The Sabbath was closely related to God's action in saving humankind from destruction. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the Sabbath and salvation in the Old Testament. The literature review is used as the method where the author looks for the main source of research and then analyzes it to find the meaning of the data. The results show that the Sabbath becomes a sign of the covenant and symbol of the special relationship in grace between God-the Redeemer, and His chosen people. The Sabbath had become a sign that reminded the Israelites and believers that God by His grace had sanctified, chosen, and delivered them. The Sabbath was a picture of salvation by God's sovereign grace in exodus. The Sabbath interpreted as people's gratitude expression for the goodness of God who has saved, redeemed and freed humankind from slavery and slavery of the sin. Sabat merupakan mandat Allah bagi manusia untuk beristirahat dari segala urusan dan pekerjaan. Hal ini dimulai ketika Allah berhenti menciptakan langit dan bumi serta segala isinya pada hari ketujuh (Kejadian 2:1-3). Hari Sabat ditentukan Allah sebagai hari peristirahatan. Karena Allah beristirahat, maka manusia yang diciptakan menurut gambar Allah juga harus beristirahat. Salah satu berkat terindah yang diperoleh dari hari Sabat adalah penyegaran kembali. Sabat juga erat kaitannya dengan tindakan Allah dalam menyelamatkan manusia dari kebinasaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji mengenai hubungan Sabat dan keselamatan dalam Perjanjian Lama. Metode yang dipakai adalah content analysis/analisis isi dimana penulis mencari sumber utama penelitian lalu menganalisis untuk menemukan makna yang terkandung dalam data tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sabat menjadi tanda kovenan, dan merupakan simbol dari hubungan khusus dalam anugerah antara Allah-Penebus dan orang-orang pilihan-Nya. Sabat telah menjadi tanda yang mengingatkan bangsa Israel dan orang percaya bahwa Allah dengan rahmat-Nya telah menguduskan, memilih, dan melepaskan mereka. Sabat menjadi gambaran dari keselamatan oleh anugerah Allah yang berdaulat dalam peristiwa eksodus. Sabat harus dimaknai sebagai ungkapan syukur umat atas kebaikan Allah yang telah menyelamatkan, menebus dan membebaskan manusia dari perbudakan dan perhambaan dosa.
