Sabbath rest is a spiritual discipline that helps position us to receive from Jesus the rest for our weary souls that he has to offer. It is a weekly embodiment of trust in Jesus. It says: “Lord, our lives are not in our own hands. We trust that you provide everything we need. We STOP STRIVING and REST JOYFULLY in your loving presence.”

Our rest in God is a witness to a worried and hurried world.
