What does the Bible say about finding rest in Christ?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that true rest for the weary can only be found in Jesus Christ, as He is the refuge for sinners.
Scripture tells us that the only place for safety and rest in light of God's judgment is found in Jesus Christ. Just as the dove returned to the ark, recognizing that it was the sole place of refuge amidst the death and destruction outside, we too must recognize that all true rest comes from Christ. In our weary state, it is in Him we find comfort and solace, as highlighted in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites the weary to come to Him for rest. This echoes the message of Noah, who offered a way of escape during a time of judgment, symbolizing how Christ offers salvation from our sin and the burdens of life.
