Find Eternal Rest in the Lord

Written By Lettie Henley

"Then I heard a voice from heaven say, 'Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' 'They will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.'" — Revelation 14:13

There is a blessing for those who die in the Lord. That blessing is rest, peace that surpasses understanding, rest from every struggle, pain, and toil.

Revelation points us to our ultimate hope: eternal rest with Christ. When our earthly journey ends, our labor ceases, and we step into fullness of joy, peace, and everlasting life. Our deeds, done in faith and love, follow us into eternity, testifying to a life well-lived in Him.

Our work and struggles here matter. They are seeds that grow into eternal rewards. Death in Christ isn’t the end; it’s the entrance into eternal rest, a final victory where our souls are fully restored and our tears are wiped away.

If you’re weary today, remember, your labor is not in vain. Trust that, in Christ, a day is coming when all your pain and toil will give way to glorious rest. Every sacrifice, act of love, and faithful step is stored up for eternity.

When doubts or fears try to weigh you down, remember our labor in the Lord is precious in His sight. Our hope is in Christ, and we can look forward to the day of eternal rest.” Let that hope shape your attitude, your work, and your worship.

Prayer:

Father, I thank You for the promise of eternal rest for all who believe in You. Help me to stay faithful in my work and love, knowing that my labor is precious to You and that one day, I will rest in Your presence forever. Give me hope and perseverance to keep my eyes fixed on the prize of eternal life, and fill my heart with peace today. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
