#5-4 Rest

What Happens in this Episode? In our last Jesus Stories episode, Jesus issued an invitation to come to him. He encourages us to take his yoke and find rest. But what does this mean? We explore the Biblical concept of rest as we talk about “rest for your souls”. How do we obtain this rest? Is it still available to us? In a world which is in turmoil, how can Jesus promise this rest? Join me as I break down Jesus’ invitation in this episode of Jesus Stories. Scriptures Referenced in this Episode?
