Just as God rested on the seventh day, satisfied that nothing more needed to be done, so we rest in Christ, knowing the work of making us righteous is already complete. The wedding at Cana, on John’s “seventh day,” reminds us that God’s rest is not dull idleness, but a joyful celebration rooted in covenant and grace. Our only “work” now is to believe this good news—ceasing from our striving, mixing the word we’ve heard with faith, and enjoying the life we already have in His name.
