Working and Resting

John 5:1–18

The idea of rest, especially the rest we get on the Sabbath, is closely tied to our belief in God. It’s more than just taking a break; it’s about the holy nature of the Sabbath. Following God’s rules, like keeping the Sabbath, is important, but what really counts is our deep love for God. Understanding our human weaknesses and the constant unrest within us, we discover real peace and freedom not by strictly sticking to rules, but in Jesus.
