God commands His people to sabbath. The people of Judah were breaking this command, so Nehemiah shut down the gates to the city, forcing the people not to work. Yet they still refused to repent or obey. The merchants lined up outside the city, wasting the Sabbath by waiting for the gates to open. Pastor Mark draws a parallel between their sins and our own. We too can quickly fall into idolizing work and wealth, at the expense of worshiping God and resting with family and friends.
