The Giver of Rest

Elder Eric Lucas shared a message from Matthew 11:28–30, reminding the church that Jesus invites the weary and burdened into His rest. Using the story of Mary and Martha, he contrasted striving in our own strength with the peace found in relationship with Christ. He emphasized the need to rightly discern seasons of labor and rest, remaining yoked to Jesus so that our work flows from intimacy with Him rather than self-effort. Rest, he explained, is not inactivity, but Spirit-led refreshment that empowers Kingdom service.
