"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (anapausis)" (Matthew 11:28-29). This rest is not merely physical but the deep soul-rest that comes from yoke-sharing with Christ — the rest of trust, of surrender, of finding in him what no effort can achieve. Anapausis also appears in Revelation 14:11 as what the wicked do not have, and in 4:8 implicitly as what the living creatures never cease from — showing that true rest is not the absence of activity but the absence of striving apart from God.
Anapausis means rest, a ceasing from labor, or refreshment. From ana (again) and pauo (stop/cease), it describes the restorative pause that brings renewal. This is the exact word Jesus uses in his great invitation: "I will give you rest."
