The Quest for Rest

Oct 20, 2024    Erik Petrik

The abundant life Jesus promises is found through true spiritual rest, not through busyness or anxious striving. Jesus invites the weary to come to Him, showing that rest is rooted in trust, childlike faith, and surrender rather than control. Through the examples in Mark 6, we see that rest often appears in unexpected places, requires courage, and calls us to release our burdens to God. Ultimately, the message points to the truth that Jesus Himself is our rest, and a life with Him becomes a rhythm of peace, trust, and dependence.
