Rest in peace


Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-30; NLT).

Walk in peace
Throughout your life
The path that Jesus trod,
Trusting in his love and light,
His cross, and staff,
And rod.

Serve in peace
With Christ our Lord,
And be at peace with God,
Trusting in their Holy Ghost:
Then rest in peace
With God.

God’s promise of entering his rest still stands (Hebrews 4:1; NLT).
