Even the Lamb Must Sleep

The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.

Mark 6:30-32

Sleep in Shalom

Jesus wants to lead us to green pastures and running streams, not burnout and fatigue. If we are serving God and his people, but wearing thin from lack of refreshment, it’s time to follow Christ into retreat.

Discipleship is both divine and human: We must eat the bread of life and the bread of the earth, rest in prayer and rest in slumber, for the Son of God has united all things in himself. Amen!

Traditional Chinese Translation

《即使是羔羊也必須安息》
跟隨基督退隱；
即使羔羊也必須安睡。
