The EmancipatorTHERE IS A REST FOR YOU IN THIS LIFE
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God
— Hebrews 4:9
The overemphasis of escaping this world into heaven as the gospel of Jesus Christ, has deprived many of the rest that Dad has for them in this life. Everything "heavenly" has been shifted into the sweet by and by. But part of the good news that you must embrace is that despite all the troubles lurking around in this world, Daddy has a rest for you in Jesus Christ. The understanding of the rest here is a state in life where one ceases from labouring to survive. It is akin to delivering the Children of Israel from the labour and afflictions of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey. A person in the rest of God, has ceased from his works. He lives by God (John 6:57). Stretch your expectations. There is more for you. There is rest in life for you.
There is definitely a rest for me in Christ. I believe it. I stretch my expectations towards its manifestation because I was born into it.
