Genesis 2:2-3 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.… I. THAT THE WORK OF CREATION WAS COMPLETED ON THE SIXTH DAY. God could have done His creative work in a moment. Why, then, did He take six days? (1) To show that His work is the result of a deliberate purpose. (2) That His work might be instructive to others. II. THAT THE SEVENTH DAY WAS THE FIRST SABBATH. (1) Divine rest. (2) Divine benediction. (3) Divine hallowing. (A. McAuslane, D. D.)
