How do you rest? We all know we need rest, but that it can be hard to find, schedule, enjoy and protect. Resting doesn’t always come naturally, even though it should.
That’s what we’ll look at this week, because our strategies for rest don’t always work.
How many times have you said “I need a vacation?” Unfortunately, it’s not always the best thing for us! Did you know that studies have shown going on vacation, you face an increased risk of road or sports accidents, and depending on where you go, digestive ailments. Employees with high levels of stress show a greater incidence of colds, poor mood and minor physical ailments in the first three days of vacation.
Sometimes we need a vacation after the vacation. Earlier this year, my family had a return flight bumped on us, and we could move it to the day before or the day after, and either shorten our time away by a day or lengthen it. We loved our time away, and were having fun, but still voted to shorten it and enjoy a day or two of recovery from vacation before everyone went back to work and school.
We needed a vacation from the vacation!

We’re looking at Jesus’ death this week, and how he didn’t need to, but allowed death to come for him so it couldn’t come for us.
This wouldn’t be passing moment in history, but something Jesus wanted his followers to remember. Here’s how he spent his last night of freedom, at a traditional Jewish Passover supper with friends, that became very non-traditional here.
Question: What helps you remember complex and important truths? In the glut of symbols this weekend – Easter eggs, bunnies, ham and more, what will help you remember Jesus’ death as the central focus?
