We use the phrase with regards to the dead; those who no longer have to deal with the unrest of this world (obviously this is not completely true, but I'm trying to make a point, work with me).
And then we have the concept of dying to our old ways, living in Christ's new life. We find this such a hard concept to grasp. Could it be as simple as resting in His peace?
If you want to boil it down to a very extreme level (what in life is not extreme?) you could say this - You can live in the unrest and struggle of trying to do this life on your own. Or you can choose to lay down your life, surrender control, and rest in the peace of the One who is the essence of Good.
Food for thought.
Rest in Peace-
Anna Elizabeth Jefferis 1989-
