Contemplations on Rest

It’s something to contemplate that we are made needing to spend 1/3 of our life in sleep. Any less & our frames start to collapse. If this is how the world is supposed to work, maybe we ought to treat rest a bit more seriously….

…this is part of the mystery with Jesus, that he spends about 30 years doing ‘nothing’ and then wanders & talks to people for three years, leaves a bunch of bumbling followers who really don’t ‘get it’ until after He’s gone & it’s really in dying (and being raised from the dead) that he has this huge impact.

If this is the live we’re made to live in & the God we believe we worship, then perhaps the messages from churches that sound more like motivational speeches to ‘do more’ or ‘work harder’ have no place.
