About this episode

This episode explores the concept of God's Rest and how it invites us into a deeper understanding of rest as a positive good and a gift.

Genesis 2:1-3 // By examination of God's Rest, we find how we are invited into it. Rest is not simply the stopping of work, but is a positive good. Resting in God is the end (goal) of life. Rest is a contemplative enjoyment and a gift. To learn to rest we must unharden our hearts, runs to Christ's work, and embrace the joys of the soul.
