Ep. 60: Rest

MATTHEW 11: 25-30

The need for rest has been built into our very being. The idea of Sabbath is really God’s gift for us, not a burden to be argued over. We really need to rest, really rest, at least one day a week. But do we heed this? Mostly no, as, even with the best of intentions, we always find things to do to fill in the gaps! That is something we have inherited from our busy-busy culture.

Yet Jesus himself offers us rest. It’s not just a reminder for our need to rest our weary bodies and minds, but to find solace for our souls. If we have the promise of salvation and eternal life, what on earth do we have to worry about?
