Two of them, in particular, allowed him to cultivate an unhurried lifestyle that gave him peace and helped him accomplish meaningful tasks. John Mark Comer discusses these two habits and urges you to adopt them if you want to escape a hectic existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more to learn about Jesus&#8217; lifestyle that you can emulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jesus-s-lifestyle\">Jesus\u2019s Lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comer argues that you can prioritize meaningful experiences and commit to a life free of rushing by following the lifestyle of Jesus. According to the Bible\u2019s four gospels\u2014which amount to Jesus\u2019 biography\u2014Jesus&#8217; lifestyle was lively, not rushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Scholars debate whether the gospels are an accurate biography of Jesus. For instance, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/201653\/zealot-by-reza-aslan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Zealot<\/em><\/a>, Reza Aslan<em> <\/em>argues the gospels may not be trustworthy because they were written years after most of the events they detail. Aslan says that according to other historical records and accounts of Jesus\u2019 life, Jesus was likely more of a radical revolutionary than the gospels depict him to be. By contrast, in <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-case-for-christ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Case for Christ<\/em><\/a>, Lee Strobel<em> <\/em>shares Comer\u2019s view that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-case-for-christ\/part-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the gospels are biographies of Jesus<\/a>. Citing research by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/jesus-and-the-gospels-craig-blomberg\/\">Craig Blomberg<\/a>, Strobel says that three of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-four-gospels\/\">the four gospels<\/a> <em>do<\/em> count as trustworthy eyewitness accounts because they were written toward the end of Jesus\u2019 life, as well as suggesting that the gospels may have been written earlier than the scholarly consensus says.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll begin this section by looking closely at a particular passage of the Bible, one in which Jesus calls upon his believers to follow his lifestyle. Then we\u2019ll present Comer\u2019s insights on how to model your lifestyle after Jesus\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jesus-call-to-follow-his-lifestyle\">Jesus\u2019 Call to Follow His Lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Comer emphasizes a particular passage from the Bible, Matthew 11:28-30, that sheds light on Jesus\u2019 hope that his followers adopt his lifestyle: \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore Comer\u2019s interpretation of two specific lines from this passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matthew 11:28: \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.\u201d<\/strong> Comer says that here, Jesus acknowledges that life\u2019s burdens wear people out spiritually, mentally, and physically. He invites them to experience rest from these burdens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Theologian Albert Barnes offers two alternative interpretations for Matthew 11:28. First, Jesus <a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/commentaries\/barnes\/matthew\/11.htm#:~:text=All%20ye%20that%20labour%20and%20are%20heavy%20laden%20%2D%20The,would%20be%20freed%20from%20these%20burdensome%20rites%20and%20ceremonies.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may have been saying these lines to Jewish people who were burdened by strict religious traditions<\/a>. According to this interpretation, Jesus is specifically inviting them to free themselves from the burden of following these strict traditions. Second, Jesus may have also been <a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/commentaries\/barnes\/matthew\/11.htm#:~:text=There%20can%20be%20no%20doubt%2C%20however%2C%20that%20he%20meant%20here%20chiefly%20to%20address%20the%20poor%2C%20lost%2C%20ruined%20sinner%3A%20the%20man%20%22burdened%22%20with%20a%20consciousness%20of%20his%20transgressions%2C%20trembling%20at%20his%20danger%2C%20and%20seeking%20deliverance.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speaking specifically to sinners who were burdened by the guilt of their sins<\/a>. According to this interpretation, his promise to give them rest is a promise for forgiveness and salvation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matthew 11:30: \u201cFor my yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d<\/strong> A yoke is a beam that rests across the shoulders of a pair of oxen, enabling them to pull weight. Comer argues that Jesus is saying that he\u2019s figured out a method\u2014symbolized by the yoke\u2014to make life more bearable. You can achieve this same result by mimicking his method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Another writer <a href=\"https:\/\/danielpassini.org\/what-is-the-real-meaning-of-my-yoke-is-easy-and-my-burden-is-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">offers a slightly different interpretation of this line<\/a>: that Jesus is contrasting the heavy yoke of strict religious traditions, as described above, with his easier way of practicing religion. This writer explains that the Pharisees and Sadducees (members of Jewish sects) enforced over 600 religious laws\u2014laws that Jesus felt were too burdensome. In Matthew 22:40, Jesus instead offers only <em>two<\/em> laws to follow: 1) Love God, and 2) love people.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to these passages, Jesus urged his followers to mimic his lifestyle\u2014but what <em>was<\/em> his lifestyle, specifically? Lastly, we\u2019ll highlight three habits that allowed Jesus to live a meaningful lifestyle free of rushing, and we\u2019ll explore how you can mimic his lifestyle even in modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-habit-1-slow-your-daily-tempo\">Habit 1: Slow Your Daily Tempo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, according to Comer, <strong>you can mimic Jesus\u2019 lifestyle by slowing the tempo of your daily life. <\/strong>We\u2019ll begin this section by describing the pace of Jesus\u2019 lifestyle; then, we\u2019ll explore why and how you might model the pace of your life after his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jesus-daily-tempo\">Jesus\u2019 Daily Tempo<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that Jesus\u2019 life was slow-paced and free of rushing may surprise you. Comer says that most people think of Jesus as someone who rushed from town to town, healing the sick and preaching to as many people as he could. However, Comer explains that this portrayal is inaccurate:<strong> Jesus never <em>rushed <\/em>in his endeavors. <\/strong>For instance, he took his time visiting and healing the sick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Why do we have this idea that Jesus\u2019 lifestyle was rushed? One writer says that <a href=\"https:\/\/jakedoberenz.com\/jesus-was-busy-too\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the <em>way<\/em> the Bible is written may give this impression<\/a>. Verses like Mark 1:21-45 are packed with summaries of everything Jesus was up to, from healing the sick to speaking to crowds, and these verses often use words like \u201cimmediately\u201d that convey a sense of rushing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Habit 2: Honor the Sabbath<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to slowing the overall pace of your everyday life, Comer says you should <strong>slow down for a <em>full day<\/em> every week\u2014the Sabbath. <\/strong>This day provides an opportunity to take a break from your usual, rushed routine (such as work and chores) so you can engage in slow-paced, meaningful, and spiritual experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Jesus Honored the Sabbath<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gospels reveal that Jesus regularly honored the Sabbath.<strong> <\/strong>According to Comer, Jesus did so for multiple reasons. First,<strong> he did so to obey God\u2019s commandment. <\/strong>One of God\u2019s Ten Commandments is \u201cRemember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy\u201d (Exodus 20:8). By \u201ckeeping it holy,\u201d God meant taking a break from your typical routine to spend the day worshiping him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <strong>Jesus honored the Sabbath to experience enjoyment. <\/strong>When the Pharisees critiqued Jesus and his followers for how they spent their Sabbath, Jesus replied, \u201cThe Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath\u201d (Mark 2:27). Comer interprets this line to mean that God created the Sabbath as a gift for us to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, <strong>Jesus honored the Sabbath to continue a tradition of resisting oppression. <\/strong>The Old Testament explains this connection between honoring the Sabbath and fighting oppression: Moses delivers the Ten Commandments to an audience of slaves who escaped Egypt, and the commandment about the Sabbath reads: \u201cRemember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day\u201d (Deuteronomy 5:15). According to Comer\u2019s interpretation of this passage, this commandment frames <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/rest-as-a-form-of-resistance\/\">rest as a form of resistance<\/a> against oppression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How fast was the pace of Jesus&#8217; life?
