We know the works of Jesus, but we have missed the rest of Jesus -- the holy time, trusting sleep, quiet solitude, easy yoke, and finished Sabbath rest he both modeled and offers to weary disciples.Main text: Matthew 11v28-30Outline:- The rest of Jesus is holy time (Genesis 2v1-3; Mark 1v35)- The rest of Jesus is asleep in the storm (Matthew 8v20, 23-27)- The rest of Jesus is quiet solitude (Mark 6v30-34)- The rest of Jesus is an easy yoke (Matthew 11v28-30)- The rest of Jesus is now, the Sabbath rest that remains (Hebrews 4v9-11)From Genesis 2 to Hebrews 4, Scripture frames rest as a sanctuary in time, not a leftover at the end of the week. Jesus inherited that pattern: rising before dawn to pray, sleeping through the storm, calling weary apostles away to a deserted place, and offering a yoke shaped to fit our shoulders. Illustrations from Ernest Shackleton on Elephant Island, Hudson Taylor's 1869 letter, and a sleeping child on her father's chest carry the weight of the lesson. The invitation is practical and present-tense: reclaim slow holy moments, name the storms you cannot fix, schedule real solitude, take the easy yoke, and step into the Sabbath rest Jesus completed when he said, "It is finished."Originally Aired: 2026-06-07Speaker: Heath Dutton3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.Brandon, FL 33596Chapters:
