Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 19 - Resting for the Kingdom

  • Summary

  • The one commandment I disregard without a second thought is the one about resting.

    The irony, of course, is that I often ignore this divine call to honor the sabbath in what feels like the work of the Kingdom. And it has been more clear in the last two years than in most of my lifetime that there is work to be done. It is easy for good people to become overwhelmed with a sense of responsibility. 

    Yet, the one with the greatest human responsibility of all, made public display of stopping, of resting...

    So this episode is a look at Jesus's pesonal need for rest, and the reminder (which my recent life shows I have yet to learn!) that we must stop neglecting the work of resting for the Kingdom.

    To read along or study further, the biblical text for this conversation can be found here: Mark 6:30-52 (NRSV)

    And here is how to connect with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) - the global relief agency of the Presbyterian Church USA. They do amazing work!

    You can also now share in worship with Canvas from anywhere in the world via livestream!!!! We'd love to have you join us!

    Want more content from Jesus at 2AM? Check out the website, where you can also learn more about how to become a patron.

    Up for connecting??? I'd love to have you send e-mail!
