Episode 7 - The Rest We Keep Missing (Genesis 2 & Hebrews 4)
from Sparked by Promise · host Karena Cruse and Matt Bennett
What if rest wasn’t supposed to be something we earn?In this episode, we look at the very first mention of rest in Genesis 2, where God stops after creation and blesses the Sabbath.At first, it seems simple.But when we started connecting it to the New Testament, it began to feel like something much deeper than just taking a break.In Matthew 11, Jesus says:“Come to me… and I will give you rest.”Then in Hebrews 4, we find this idea of a deeper kind of Sabbath still being available.Which made us wonder:What if Sabbath was always pointing toward something bigger?We talk through striving, rest, exhaustion, and why so many of us feel uncomfortable slowing down in the first place.We’re not theologians. We didn’t go to seminary.We’re just asking questions, noticing patterns, and learning a lot along the way.Some episodes make you think.This one might make you exhale a little.Come explore it with us.Genesis 2:2–3 Matthew 11:28–30Hebrews 4:9–10
