Matthew 11:25-30

A means of rest Matthew 11:25-30: There are many ways Christ benefits our lives and there are many blessings that come through the gospel. No blessing is greater than "rest for your soul" which is obtained as one comes to Jesus. He promised, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Those that "labor and are heavy laden" are invited to come to Jesus for rest.

Only those who truly feel the burden of sin will come. We should come to Jesus as (1) Savior, "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." (1 John 4:14), (2) Advocate, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 2:1), (3) Redeemer, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." (Psalms 19:14) and, (4) Sustainer, "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1:17) There is spiritual rest to be had in Christ for all that will learn of Him. You have been invited to come! Will you come?"Will you come; will you come, with your poor broken heart, burdened and sin oppressed? Lay it down at the feet of your Saviour and Lord: Jesus will give you rest, O happy rest, sweet, happy rest! Jesus will give you rest." Will you come to Jesus by hearing God's word and believing John 6:44-45, repenting of sins Acts 2:38, confessing Christ and being baptized? (Acts 8:36-39) If sinners come to Christ and stay with Him they obtain rest for their soul.
