Rest in a Wearying World - 14/05/2023

Ps Jono Deenik Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5 Today is Mother’s Day, a day we like to set aside to celebrate our mothers. It's also a day we like to encourage our mothers because being a mother can be a weary task. It is full of joys, but also full of pressures. Pressures that are perhaps exacerbated because we are surrounded by images and examples of the ideal mother, with the ideal children. Indeed, this is true for all sorts of different walks of life. We live in a world of comparisons, whether mothers, fathers, workers, students, young, old, single, married and so it goes on. How can we rest, when everyone else is doing so much better than me? In 1 Cor 4, Paul gives us an answer that removes a terrible burden and allows us to find rest.
