Exodus 20:9

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Most of us are overworked and utterly exhausted, so the concept of Sabbath could not be more important. To honor the Sabbath means to “keep it holy,” and holy simply means “set apart.” Our Sabbath should look different than the other six days of our week. In this Plan, we’ll discuss what it is, what it isn’t, how it looks today, and finding our true rest in Jesus.

¿La vida parece agotadora? ¿Necesitas un reinicio, ya sea física o espiritualmente? Todos hemos experimentado el agotamiento en este loco y ajetreado mundo, pero ¿cuántas veces nos negamos a descansar porque pensamos que no es importante o incluso consideramos que somos perezosos? Dios priorizó el descanso después de crear el mundo, y Jesús promete darte descanso cuando vengas a Él. Jesús te invita a descansar ahora.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.
