Genesis 1:31-2:3 First Lesson

Hebrews 4:1-11 Second Lesson
1. Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it.
2. For indeed the good news came to us just as to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
3. For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “As in my anger I swore, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” though his works were finished at the foundation of the world.
4. For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
5. And again in this place it says, “They shall not enter my rest.”
6. Since therefore it remains open for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,
7. again he sets a certain day—“today”—saying through David much later, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later about another day.
9. So then, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God;
10. for those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his.
11. Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through such disobedience as theirs.

Colossians 2:13-19 Epistle
13. And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses,
14. erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross.
15. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.
16. Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths.
17. These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
18. Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up without cause by a human way of thinking,
19. and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God. Warnings against False Teachers

Mark 3:1-6 Gospel
1. Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
2. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
3. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come forward.”
4. Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him. A Multitude at the Seaside
