Holy rest on the road to resurrection

Tony Lobl

Rest isn’t a word many people would associate with the crucifixion of Christ Jesus.

There isn’t much that could be considered more devoid of rest than the unjust arrest, sham trial, and wholly undeserved and cruel punishment to which rulers of his day subjected “the best man that ever trod the globe,” as Mary Baker Eddy described Jesus (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 52). The enormity of the injustice was compounded by what was being rejected: God’s message of humanity’s salvation through Christ, the forever reality of our eternal, harmonious, spiritual relationship to God.
