Our second teaching on the spiritual practice of rest explores how Jesus’ words and actions are constantly “echoing” the Old Testament story—and how that changes the way we read our Bibles. Looking at Mark 10:13–16, we see Jesus welcome and bless the children, declaring that the kingdom belongs to such as these. From there, we trace the echoes back to Genesis 48 and Jacob’s crossed‑arm blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh, a powerful picture of undeserved adoption, unearned inheritance, and freely shared kingdom grace. Brock concludes with a reflection on an 1805 painting of Jesus with children, using its imagery to show what true Christian rest looks like: childlike trust, heads laid on the Savior’s chest, embraced by the cross.
