1089. The Religious Exercise of Going Up the 'Down Escalator'

When one is confined to concepts which has them in a state of constantly working at trying to improve their position with God, it can end up being stressful and exhausting.

To help create a visual, we use an example of someone who was working through their sweat to get to the top of an escalator that was going down in the opposite direction. People were all around, cheering her on to keep going. She nearly made it to the top before failing to reach the goal. And the spectators were not very gracious afterwards ... just like a real, legalistic church setting.

Jesus spoke to would-be 'doers' about a rest we could all learn from Him. It's easy and light. The opposite of what many of us have had to deal with.
