God’s Rest

God’s Rest – is a teaching about how the world keeps turning, we keep running, and when do we get a chance to rest?  Through Christ Jesus, we are offered many things from God. Some we desire such as riches, possessions, and houses on a hill. Others we only think about as an afterthought, such as peace, love, freedom, and rest. But if we don’t have the latter, we will not enjoy the former.  In what God offers us, it all comes down to getting to a place in the Lord, where our lives are at peace, and our bodies can be at rest.  After doing all we can do in serving the Lord, what we long for in the end is plenty of peace, love, and rest for our souls. A time will come when our labor will no longer feel like work, but a part of who we are in Christ Jesus. At some point, we will rest from our labor, and go to rest with the Lord. God’s rest is not just about this life, it’s about our present life, and the life to come. God’s rest will forever cover us. Our life will be at peace, our souls will be at rest in Christ, and we will be raised to eternal life.
