This sermon explores the concept of God's rest throughout Scripture, focusing on five key places where God rests with humanity: Eden, the Tabernacle of Moses, Solomon's Temple, the Church, and the New Jerusalem. The pastor emphasizes that God's rest is not inactivity but the completion of His purpose and the assumption of His reign. In the current era, God rests with His people through the Holy Spirit, making the Church His living temple.

A crucial insight is that Jesus' death was not only about the forgiveness of sins but also about fulfilling the Mosaic Law and establishing God's rest among His people. Christians are called to both "come unto me" (receive rest from Jesus) and "go unto them" (take the gospel to others). The sermon concludes with four main points: believers are personal temples, the church is a corporate temple, Christians are called to live from rest rather than striving, and believers must both come to Jesus and go to others.
