The Bible describes Christ as our glorious rest, where believers can find security and peace in Him.
Isaiah 11:10 refers to Christ as the root of Jesse, stating, 'His rest shall be glorious.' This rest is not a mere physical pause but a profound spiritual state where believers can lean on Jesus, our Savior and source of strength. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites all who labor and are heavy laden to come to Him for rest, indicating that true release from burdens comes through a relationship with Him. This rest encompasses the fullness of peace, reassurance, and spiritual security, distinguishing it from the fleeting nature of worldly rest.
