The Best Rest

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mark 11:28

The gospel is the deepest revelation of who God is (as the context of this verse makes clear). This revelation of God is bound up in his Son and the work he was sent to do, namely, taking our burdens upon himself, putting away our sins, and giving us eternal rest. All this reveals that the living God is a saving God. He delights to bestow mercy upon all who come to him. Let us do so today and always, ever seeking the best rest.
