The Machine and the One Who Offers Rest

We begin our 2024 vision series with an examination of the dehumanizing, technological, inhumane age we find ourselves in: what we might call the age of the machine. Amidst all the other stressors of life, it seems our culture is uniquely suited to leaving us feeling distracted, disembodied, and disenchanted. We are anxious, lonely, and tired. Amidst all of this, Jesus's words are like rain in the desert. He promises rest for our souls, if we'll trade out the yokes of this age for His. This year, may we reclaim our genuine humanity in Jesus for one another and for our neighbors.
