Rest (Matthew 11)

Rest. Real rest can oftentimes sound like a pipedream. Whether it’s chaos at work or chaos in the home – rest can seem like the furthest thing from reality. Which is why at Christmas we are reminded clearly that Jesus came to give us eternal rest. This week we see how in Matthew 11 Jesus’ coming brought the promise that true rest from all our striving isn’t just a pipedream but a glorious promise.
