There are numerous benefits, joys and angles to the diamond that is the Lordsday, but one aspect I'm fond of emphasizing to my family in various ways, and one I've discovered to be clarifying for others, is that the Lordsday is for us, to turn away from us.
By the Spirit this understanding can direct our gaze, our hearts, onto Jesus and will aid us to not only know Him more through sabbath, but too, begin to help us truly understand our own selves more through the knowing of Him who is the Eternal Word.
So, on the Lordsday it is fitting and liberating to say along with John the Baptiser, "Christ must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30)
