In today's gospel, Jesus schools the Pharisees that "the sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the sabbath." Pastor Michelle further explains that there is a power in taking rest, despite the world's pressures. Indeed, the world view is that the busier we are, the better we are. But even the natural world has seasons, time for rejuvenation, and God's lesson for us is that we should take time each week to rest in Him.
