Respite!

September 6, 2021 Labor Day Monday Message:

Mark 6:31a NLT: “Then Jesus said, ‘Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.’”

Jesus knew that we sometimes need to get out of the rat race, the intense agenda of our daily lives. It’s good to step back, recharge our batteries so-to-speak, and return refreshed, ready to once again pursue our tasks.

Labor Day is a national holiday in the US, intended to not only give us an extra day of rest, but also to honor the contributions and achievements of American workers. Enjoy!

Jesus was fully God and fully man, and the ‘man’ part knew when it would prove beneficial to hit ‘pause.’ Tell yourself, “If it was good for Jesus, then it’s good for me too!”

Happy Labor Day!
