Mosaic Church - Winter Garden Mosaic Church

Sabbath rest is God’s invitation to His people to live into the freeing rhythm of working hard and resting well. Ultimately, Jesus is our true and better rest who is able to meet our weary hearts as we draw near to Him together in community.

This Local Mission Sunday, we remind ourselves that as followers of Jesus, we are sent as exiles to carry and proclaim the message of reconciliation while serving the world with all that we have and are.

Our triune God gets all the glory in the salvation of His children. The Father is the adopter of His kids. Jesus is the author and finisher of their faith. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee and seal of those who believe the word of the gospel. Believers can rest in the assurance that they are perfectly loved and kept by the faithfulness of God, rather than their own faithfulness.

Jesus is continually drawing us closer. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Instead, allow His spirit to kindly convict and guide you back as you look to His never-ending faithfulness. He is worthy of our trust. Beholding His past and His future, enables us to hold on to our original confidence firm to the end, and encourage others to do the same.

As holy siblings and citizens of heaven, our calling is to fixate the attention of our hearts on Jesus as the one greater and more glorious than anyone else, including Moses. Such consideration of Jesus fuels trusting Him no matter the cost.

This Easter Sunday we remember the profound significance of why Jesus came to die and rise from the dead foreshadowed in the story of Lazarus. Namely, that Jesus’ death and resurrection overcame sin and death for those who trust in Him by faith. Our death, darkness, and bondage is defeated by Jesus’ life, light, and freedom. Hallelujah!
