4: REST
Levity is proof the Gospel hit home.
Reflection Questions:
• Do you think people in general associate rest with Christianity? Why or why not? What did you learn about rest in Reclaim 4?
• In Colossians 3:1-4 describes us as "hidden" in Christ, how does this truth connect to Galatians 2:20 and Romans 8:1?
• How was your view of bearing fruit challenged or affirmed in our discussion on John 15?
• In what ways have you found grace to be frustrating and/or freeing?
Key Passages:
• There is no condemnation for those in Christ because there’s no “you” to condemn [Gal. 2:20 + Rom. 8:1]
• Like a tiny bookmark lost inside a gigantic novel, we are hidden in Christ [Col. 3:1-4]
• We have already been sanctified. We are now seated with Him whose work is finished [Heb. 10:10-14 + Eph. 2:6]
• You’re a branch, not the Vinedresser. Branches don’t produce fruit, they bear it [Jn.15:1-5]
• Rest is being offered to us by the One whose grace is sufficient [2 Cor. 12:8-9 + Matt. 11:28-30]
