By Paul Marshall Resting is no small matter. It is not simply collapsing when everything else is done. In fact, it is at the heart of our relationship with God, and is a fundamental reflection of our faith.
Rest is close to the heart of faith.
Under God, we nd our ultimate fullfilment not in what we achieve but in freely receiving what God has given. The Bible certainly teaches the goodness and importance of work. Christians need to overcome any slighting of work. But we are strange creatures. Most of us manage to have problems with work and, at the same time, to have problems with restusually both at the same time.
