TEXTS: Mark 6:30-32; John 4:1-8
AIMS:
i. to show that in His incarnation, Jesus experienced tiredness; and
ii. that there is a time to work and a time to rest
INTRODUCTION: Tiredness is something every human tends to experience no matter how
physically strong one might be. Our Lord Jesus got tired at some point in the course of
His moving from one place to another, preaching the gospel. Jesus was conscious of His
human nature and thus never overworked Himself as He sometimes took time off to rest.
Our study today will help us appreciate this vital aspect of His human nature.
STUDY GUIDE/QUESTIONS:
1. What is tiredness? Discuss the factors that can predispose us to tiredness. 2 Sam
17:29
2. From our key texts, discuss the evidence that Christ was tired at some points in His
earthly life and Ministry.
3. What can we learn from Jesus’ command to His disciples inMark 6:31?
4. Discuss ways in which you can assist your local Pastor to have a relaxed mind and a
healthy body so as to have a robust ministry.
CONCLUSION: The body is simply made up of flesh and blood, bone and tissues. When
these are not properly serviced – just like the parts of a car, they will pack up. As a
minister, learn to create a time of rest for yourself and as a parishioner, consider ways
you can assist your minister to relax.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Whoever fails to rest will be laid to rest!
