Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
You might recognize these verses.
You may even have quoted them to someone.
Maybe, you memorized them.
Let's take it a step further;
Maybe, you're the one preaching a sermon on these verses!
But the burden that fell on my heart as I was communing this morning with the Lord was the fact that God wants to give us rest, but many of us choose to reject His invitation!
LET'S MAKE IT VERY CLEAR, THIS MESSAGE IS GEARED TOWARD THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY!
Those who have not heard the Gospel, nor accepted Christ as Lord & Savior can not experience the benefits of Spiritual Peace & Rest!
But we who have the King of Glory as our Shepherd are called to a different lifestyle that exemplifies the benefits of Godly Living!
Christ said, "COME TO ME..."
Have you gone to Him, or are you still trying to figure out your problems on your own?
Christ also said, "LEARN FROM ME..."
Are you applying His teachings to your circumstances, or are you still responding the way this world taught you?
"YOU WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO CARRY THE WEIGHT THAT THIS WORLD LAYS ON YOU!"
"YOUR CREATOR DESIGNED YOU TO ENJOY HIS PRESENCE, NOT SUFFER IN HIS ABSENCE!"
