Think with me about Jesus’ lifestyle for a few minutes. Jesus made sure to inject a healthy dose of margin into his life. It’s been said that margin is “the space between our load and our limits.”4 For many of us there is no space between our loads and limits. We’re not at 80 percent with room to breathe; we’re at 100 all the time. Jesus’ weekly schedule was a prophetic act against the hurried rhythms of our world.
