Home: The Gospel Narrative of Belonging #1 - We Were Created for a Place of "Rest"

Even people with a loving home can carry a homesickness they cannot explain. Genesis 1 and 2 place humanity's first experience of God on His day of rest, amid harmony with God, one another, and creation. Sin broke this harmony and turned human life into exile. Jesus came to restore these broken bonds and is making all things new. True rest is found by knowing and enjoying God, rebuilding relationships, and caring wisely for His creation.
