The Wonder of Rest (Video)

A message from Pastor Peter Steicke.

Rest is a key to holistic and joyful living.  We think we can keep going and going, harder and harder, trying to achieve more and more.  But without rest, you blow up or burn out.

When Jesus invited us to come to him and rest, he wasn’t instigating a go-slow policy or saying we need a snooze.  Not that there’s anything wrong with either of those.  He was inviting us to rest from those attitudes, activities, and performance-based sources of identity that rob us of life in him.

Spiritual rest is about life in Jesus: celebrating who he is and what he has done; living in his accomplishments and rejoicing in his declaration “It is finished.”
