I read something powerful yesterday about rest and slowing down. Jesus was in no rush and lived a life full of interruptions, people and an unexpected pace. After Lazarus (His bff) died, it took Him days to get to him. Throughout His ministry you see His “slow” pace.
Sometimes, we attribute this to Jesus’ divinity— but the thought that grabbed me was— what if this was Jesus teaching us to be fully human? What if this was a result of Jesus being human? God showing us who we are and what we should be. Something very different from what the world says we should be.
What if rest is the ultimate rebellion?
