Rested: Find Rest in Jesus

Talk 5 is about Jesus, how He declared that He is the Messiah, created His Jubilee Team– and included us as part of the team. The key message: Your Jubilee has begun. Here’s a review of the amazing lessons we’ve learned so far: Humanity has a problem and it’s huge: Overworking but underliving. And God has the antidote. It’s called Shabbat—a rhythm of rest and relationship. Last week, we learned that in the Bible, there were four Sabbath practices: (1) the weekly Sabbath; (2) seven annual festivals; (3) the Sabbath Year; and (4) the Jubilee Year. And the biggest Sabbath is the Jubilee where three phenomenal things happen: (1) all debts are erased; (2) all slaves are released; and (3) all lands are returned to their original owners. It’s pretty radical. So, the goal is about ending poverty, creating abundance for all, and building a community of equals—with Jesus as King. The Sabbath is much more than taking a vacation—It’s about bringing people back to the abundance of the Garden.
