Rest, Seriously - Part 3

Isn't it amazing how God always makes people lie down on green grass?

In John 6:10, it is mentioned that "The ground was covered with GRASS, and Jesus told his disciples to tell everyone to sit down.

In one of the most famous psalms, Psalm 23, David confidently declares that "You let me rest in fields of GREEN. You lead me to streams of peaceful water" in verse 2.

While He is doing what needs to be done in our life, Jesus asks us to lie down on green grass.  Isn't this much much better instead of asking us to sit on the hot sand of the dessert or struggle to float on water or hold unto a tree-branch?

This shows that God wants us to go through life resting in His goodness.
So stop struggling and rest in the finished work of Jesus. 


Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. 
Grass green is the most restful color.

Green symbolizes the master healer and the life force. 

It often symbolizes money. It was believed green was healing for the eyes. Egyptians wore green eyeliner. Green eyeshades are still used. You should eat raw green foods for good health.
