The 4th command feels almost out of place. After “I want to be taken seriously as your one and only God” (commands 1-3). Here we find a command about taking one day off in seven. The word Sabbath means to cease, to stop, or by implication- to rest.  A Sabbath is a stoppage of labor.  Jesus indicated that it was created for our good:  “The Sabbath was made for man. Not man for the Sabbath”.
