What did Jesus say
was the opposite of unbelief? of not living life the way He intends?
Matthew 11:28-30
(MSG)
Are you tired?
Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll
recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work
with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay
anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to
live freely and lightly.
The opposite of
unbelief is not belief. The opposite of unbelief is REST! Here Jesus says, Come to Me . . . I’ll show you how to take a real rest! When we learn to say, “Calf rope!”
“I give up!” “I give up trying to do it my way!” That’s when God’s grace floods
our soul.
Don’t try to be a Christian. STOP IT! Enter in to God’s rest! The most Holy
thing you can do is enter into the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Jesus said, “It is Finished!” Enter into the Sabbath of God’s rest. The
Christian life is one of Sabbath – Rest!
Genesis 2:1-4
(MSG)
Heaven and Earth
were finished,
down to the last
detail.
By the seventh
day
God had finished
his work.
On the seventh
day
He rested from
all his work.
God blessed the
seventh day.
He made it a Holy
Day
Because on that
day He rested from his work,
all the creating
God had done.
This is the story
of how it all started,
of Heaven and
Earth when they were created.
