Rest

Practicing

By Kale Booher, August 03, 2025

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30



Jesus invites us into a life of rest in Him



27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
Mark 2:27-28



13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Colossians 2:13-17



Taking a Sabbath for the Christian is a “get to” not a “have to”



Because Jesus finished his work, you can rest from yours
