Commentary on Exodus 31:17

Theological / Devotional

Was refreshed. The very fact that God uses language here distinctly adapted to human experience shows how earnestly He desired to impress upon His people their obligation to Him and the need of their following His example. There can be no more convincing reason for complying with a divine command than that God Himself has set the example (John 13:13-15; 1 Peter 2:21).
