Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Jesus’s invitation in verse 28 is so appealing to me right now. At this time of the school year, I’m pretty exhausted, worn out, weary, burdened. My soul needs rest. And Jesus is telling me to come to Him and He will give me rest.
Matthew 11:29a Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart…
There are no qualifications. It’s not “Come to me if your burden is important enough,” “Come to me if I deem your burden relevant,” “Come to me if your burden is from doing my work and not from the general weariness of life.” Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:29b …and you will find rest for your souls.
Precious Savior, Thank You for Your open invitation to come to You if we are weary and burdened, period. Thank You for the rest that You can and will provide. We are all weary, Lord. Help us to see our deep need for You. Help us to come to You so we can rest. Amen.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Have a blessed day.
