What if the most countercultural thing you could do this week is...nothing?
We live in a culture that glorifies hustle and wears exhaustion like a badge of honor. But Jesus reminds us in Mark 2:27 that "the Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath." Rest isn't weakness - it's worship. It's trusting God enough to believe the world won't fall apart when you stop.
God himself rested on the seventh day, not because He was tired, but to establish a rhythm for our souls. Disciples rest in God's sufficiency, not their own productivity. This Sunday, we explored how Sabbath is the disciple's rest - a weekly declaration that you are not defined by what you do, but by whose you are.
