“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’.”
(Psalm 122:1)
The Sabbath under the Old Testament was much more restrictive than under the New, but never did the people of God anticipate it as a repressive, joyless day. Quite the contrary: it was always a day to which they looked forward, a day of rest from work and the worship of God. To have an invitation to meet God in his house filled David with joyful anticipation. Why should it not make us glad also?
