We all need rest. But where do we get it? And how does Jesus offer it? On two separate occasions Jesus shows the Pharisees (and us) how badly we misunderstand the nature of rest, and clarifies that true rest is only found in him.

Application Questions: 

1. What are areas in life you tend to "human-splain" to God about how things should be?

2. How do you usually pursue rest?

3. Is your pursuit of rest primarily self-focused or God-focused?

4. How is Jesus' vision for Sabbath rest more conservative or libertine than you expect?

5. What is one thing you can do to pursue more God-oriented Sabbath rest on a weekly basis?
