It was in Yshuas`s death that He found true rest for himself. This is when He was the greatest servant of ALL. The REST He found was when He knew that mankind was SAVED and put back into right standing with the Father through His sinless blood.
Luke 9:57&58 tells us Yeshua had no place to lay His head.
And it occurred that as they were going along the road, a man said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.
And Jesus told him, Foxes have lurking holes and the birds of the air have roosts and nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.
The word in Greek for lay and bow is the same klino. This means to incline, bow, recline, to cause to fall back, or a place for repose.
This is the same words used in John 19:30 when Yeshua bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

30When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
This action of REST for Yeshua came because He had finished the work that the Father called Him to do on behalf of mankind.
We in turn can now REST in this finished work and it will bring shalom to our lives. It will bring a peace that passes ALL understanding. It will bring a hope and future to every area of our lives.
Our Father is our DADDY.
Personal reflection: The other day my earthly Father was visiting my husband and I. My husband tells my Father, "whenever your daughter is speaking affectionately of you she calls you Daddy, and she has a tone when she says Daddy that tells me how special you are to her."
My point is this. Do you have a special tone of affection for your heavenly Father when you speak to Him or when you speak of Him to others? Can someone who does not know you, know you love your heavenly Abba(Daddy in Hebrew) just because of the tone in your voice when you speak of Him?
Today may we ALL know our heavenly Father as our true Daddy.
Some of us may not have had good experiences with our earthly Fathers. But, I tell you today, based on God`s Word, that He does not lie. Your heavenly Abba`s love is a very different love. It is an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that is not human. There are no conditions as some think. Our heavenly Father`s LOVE is based only upon Him. He gave His only Beloved and Begotten Son to die in our place so that we could have eternal LIFE. So today stop looking at what you have done good or bad and start looking to what He did and know that IN HIM you are set free.
Start by looking to Him today and be at REST in the work that He finished on your behalf.
