Synopsis

  • What did Adam really lose when he sinned?
    The fall cost humanity more than a garden. It meant losing the rest of living in unhindered communion with God.
    From Eden to the promised land, from the Sabbath commandment to the invitation of Jesus Christ, Scripture develops one continuing theme: God restoring what sin destroyed.
    The Lost Rest traces this biblical theme from Genesis through Exodus, Deuteronomy, the Gospels, and Hebrews. It examines the seventh day of creation, Israel’s Sabbath, the wilderness generation, Canaan, and the promise that “there remains a rest for the people of God.”
    Written in clear and accessible language, this book explains how the Sabbath functioned as a sign pointing beyond itself to a greater reality. True rest is ultimately found not in a twenty-four-hour period, a geographical place, or human effort, but in Jesus Christ.
    The shadow pointed forward. Christ is the reality.
    If you have ever wondered what Adam truly lost, what the Sabbath was meant to signify, or what Hebrews means when it speaks of entering God’s rest, this book invites you to follow that theme through Scripture and discover the answer in Christ.
