Jesus & Rest

There are too many Christians who believe they are called to live as spiritual superheroes. Meeting every need, rescuing every struggler, answering every question, and ending every debate…they put on a cape as they leave the house each day. Scripture actually goes out of its way to remind us to take off our capes and to welcome Jesus to be the lone hero. We watch Him in the Gospels and see Him modeling and commanding this important thing called REST. He knows our limitations and actually prioritized rest for us as we run the marathon of faith. This message unpacks several Bible passages where it is clear that Jesus wants us to pace ourselves for enduring effectiveness in the Kingdom. Superhero? No, not you, and not me. Jesus is the only one who is considered the star of the show. And even He stopped to rest when He walked the earth.
