All Saints Church

We have said that this book is written to 1st C Urban people who are so weary with troubles and worries that they are on the verge of giving up. So, what do they need? It is obvious that the writer is telling them to get rest, (8x’s in 11 verses).

It’s not just crucial for them, we need this teaching because we live in a culture that is in need of rest more than any culture in history. What does this writing have to say to us: the importance of rest, the levels of rest, the ordeal of rest and the author of rest.

Sabbath rest is one of the ten commandments. We really don’t have any idea what that means! A society that encourages over work is as brutalizing, dehumanizing as a society that encourages stealing, adultery, killing. It’s in the same list! Yikes.
