As we continue our time with this topic of sabbath and rest, this week we consider the connection of Sabbath to the story of the Exodus—how does rest connect to our faith in a God who freed God’s people from slavery? In our context today, we are not slaves and we consider ourselves to live in a free country. Yet what tolls has the “grind culture” (as Tricia Hersey calls it) taken on our bodies, minds and spirits? Are we truly free? How does rest connect to liberation, and what does truly liberating rest really look like?
