“Barth observes that the seventh day does not come at the end of a week of toil and labor for human beings as though its primary purpose is to offer a measure of respite after days of toil. Rather, since “God’s seventh day was man’s first,”54 the seventh day sets life’s priority for human beings in the most tangible way. Better yet—and much closer to the point—the seventh day brings to view God’s priorities. Seeing that human time “begins with a day of rest and not a day of work,”55 the spiritual pursuit, living life in a relationship with the Creator that is mutually meaningful, stands out as the primary meaning in life.”
