Trusting Jesus for Your Rest (Part 3) Millennial Exposition
-
- Christianity
In this episode, we continue our discussion from Matthew 28:11 - 30 on finding rest for your soul. In this passage, Jesus gave us three action words - come, take, learn - whose application to our faith and lives is crucial in guiding us into the rest Jesus promised to give. In the last episode, The Pandemic of Restlessness, we focused on the third verb - learn - and the implications and applications it can have for us today. This episode focuses on the second verb - take - and examines the challenges we often face when it comes to simply receiving from God without feeling like we owe Him something in return.
Learning to trust Jesus is challenging because we are broken people, living in a broken world, and we've all been let down by something or someone at some point in time. As a result, deep down inside, oftentimes the only person we truly trust is ourselves. Simply because we are not used to having people in our lives whom we can whole-heartedly trust or depend on.
But Jesus wants to change that and wants to give more to us than we could ever give to Him. Unfortunately, because of the brokenness we're used to in this world, learning to take what Jesus is offering without feeling like we owe something in return can be a real struggle. Here in part three of this discussion, we talk about how this struggle can rob us of our peace and contentment and some ways we can overcome that.
