In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus invites us into the “unforced rhythms of grace,” a beautiful balance between resting in the work of Christ and doing all of the work he’s called us to accomplish as his followers here on earth. Our culture has lost this rhythm, however, as we champion the driven workaholic and often view rest as inactive, passive, and even lazy! Yet God calls us to it. And if we don’t take pit stops to rest on life’s journey, we’ll inevitably crash. Luckily in the same passage in Matthew Jesus says “I’ll show you how to rest.” Tonight we dig into Mark 6:30-34 to see how he does just that!
