Introduction: Spring After Winter

There’s a moment every year when winter finally breaks. The snow melts, the ground softens, and suddenly what looked like dead earth suddenly bursts into life. Dormant trees bud, little green shoots begin to poke through the soil, flowers bloom, and birds sing. What seemed lifeless just weeks before bursts into color, fragrance, and beauty.

But then, after the first burst of color, the rains come, soaking the ground, refreshing what was newly alive. 

That’s the picture of restoration: God revives what was dead and refreshes what is weary.

• Spring is God’s reminder that He specializes in bringing life where death once reigned.

Bridge…

But here’s the problem: even when new life comes, we sometimes still live in an exhausted state. We’re alive but not refreshed. We’ve been raised, but we’re not resting in Him. 

And Jesus doesn’t just want to revive you with new life; He wants to refresh you with His rest.
