Unraveling the Riddle of Rest (2024)

UNRAVELING THE RIDDLE OF REST

Pastor Aaron Sutherland  

Rest at its core is the act of letting go.

I. TRUE REST IS FOUND IN A PERSON NOT A PLACE
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

II. TRUE REST REQUIRES ACTION NOT INACTION
Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
 

III. TRUE REST IS NOT ONLY A FUTURE PROMISE BUT A PRESENT ONE
Matthew 11:29b "...and you will find rest for your souls."

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. How have you experienced rest in the person of Jesus? How so?
2. When have you experienced God’s action after you chose inaction?
3. What would it look like to allow God’s rest to find you?
