Sabbath: Practicing the Way of Jesus
“How are you doing?” “Busy.”
How many of us have participated in this exchange? Some wear the answer as a badge of honour. For others, the answer is a painful confession to a life that feels out of control. For all of us, this response reflects a culture where our worth flows out of what we produce and achieve. If you’re not on the verge of burn-out you probably aren’t working hard enough.
But what if there is another way?
Jesus invites his followers to experience a rest and realignment through the practice of Sabbath; a radical practice that challenges our culture’s obsession with production and busyness and invites us into a better way of life in sync with the heart of God. In the practice of Sabbath, we discover more than just a day off in the week, but a whole different way of living each and every day.
