“The word Sabbath means a deep rest, a deep peace. It’s a near synonym for shalom - a state of wholeness and flourishing in every dimension of life…Jesus is the source of the deep rest we need…When Jesus calls you to rest, He is calling you to take time off - physical and mental time off from work on a regular basis. But there’s another level of rest, a deeper level…Jesus has lived the life you should have lived, He has died the death you should have died. If you rely on Jesus’ finished work, you know that God is satisfied with you. (And) you can be satisfied with life” (Timothy Keller, King’s Cross, 42-43).
