On page one of the Bible, God orders a beautiful world out of chaotic darkness within a sequence of six days. And on the seventh day, God rests. This introduces the major biblical theme of patterns of seven that conclude with God and humans resting together as partners.

We also look at why Jesus adopted this idea as a major part of his own mission to bring God's Kingdom to earth.
