Rest is an important part of our physical life, so our spent energy can be restored. This Easter period has been an oasis in the middle of some busy times. Time to stop and rest a while. This has been a time of physical refreshment, and rejuvenation.
The same applies to our Spiritual life. As we reflect on the amazing gift of life given at an enormous cost of our Saviour’s life. We then celebrate our Saviour’s resurrection from that death, and we are refreshed deep within.
To often we enjoy the acclaim of the crowd, our peers, etc. and fail to achieve the rest so needed for our physical and spiritual lives to be refreshed. It takes courage and strength to step into a restful environment. Jesus set an example for us all.
Matthew 8:18 (NIV)

When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.
