I Will Give You Rest

Soren begins "Training In Christianity" with an exposition of the verse where Jesus promises to give rest, to those who are heavily burdened. As the Suffering One, he knows our troubles and is well-acquainted with grief. Yet, as the Eternal One, he is able to give us rest for our souls. That promise is as fresh and valid as it was 2,000 or so years ago when Jesus first said it. Rest connotes slowing down and stopping at his feet. Going slower is generally better for our souls. Don't rush. Be observant. Take time to walk. No sense in running to the grave. Appreciate the moment. Don't pass it by.
