What does the Bible say about rest?

"And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work."

God rested on the seventh day. Rest is part of creation, not an afterthought.

"And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat."

Jesus told His tired disciples to come away and rest a while.

"He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name."

The Shepherd makes us lie down and restores our soul.

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”"

Jesus offers rest for your soul and a yoke that is easy.

"There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His."

A Sabbath rest remains for God's people, who rest from their own striving.
