The Rest of the Rest of the Story

In today's episode, we explore "The Rest of the Story" as we dive into Jesus’ teachings on the Sabbath by reading four examples found in the Gospels. We examine the clash between Jesus and the religious leaders over Sabbath observance, highlighting how Jesus viewed rest not as a burden, but as a gift from God. Through His actions, like healing on the Sabbath, Jesus redefined true Sabbath rest, emphasizing worship, community, and focus on what truly matters.

Additionally, we discuss how Jesus did good despite the Pharisees motives to set him up and condemn him, and converse about Jesus being the Lord of the Sabbath. This leads into further discussion about Jesus showing us that he ruled over the Sabbath instead of letting the man-made laws and traditions rule over him. 

Join us as we reflect on the deeper meaning of rest and its relevance in our lives today.
