Rest
- Derek Epperhart
Jesus commands us to find this “rest” in Him: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – (Matthew 11:28) The Sabbath meaning for “rest” is one of the most important practices for the spiritual health of the believer. It is commanded by God for us to observe. God rested and commanded his creation to do the same. Rest is our lifeline to maintain relationship with God, to provide physical restoration, and to re-center ourselves on mission for the kingdom. Life is busy, chaotic, stressful, difficult, etc. Resting in Jesus is the avenue to which we can persevere!
