Risk Falling Behind in Your Career"

How can we put work in its place? How can I put artmaking in its place? How can you do leisure and rest? Risk falling behind in your career...and artmaking. The only person whose eyes you should have to prove yourself to, says to you, "It is good, it is finished." (Jesus said this on the cross.) Our sense of worth through work or doing stuff will never be satisfied. It will never be enough. However, our greatest need for perfection, worth and value before God has been accomplished for us by Jesus. We now have Sabbath rest because of what Jesus did. - Thoughts from listening to Tim Keller's sermon: http://sermons2.redeemer.com/sermons/work-and-rest.

The religious leaders in Jesus’ time had a long list of rules regarding the Sabbath. When questioned, Jesus does not respond by dismissing the Sabbath, but rather redefines it — by dying on a cross. As Christians, we are able to enter into his rest and enjoy the same rest that God enjoyed after creation, by means of his works, not ours. The Sabbath is a blessing from God and one we will only enjoy if we understand it correctly. - Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church

In response to this sermon, I am going to rest, today, from making art. I still am doing the 365 day challenge, but, it will be with a rest here and there.
