Rest

The people of the world and reeling under the yoke of heavy burdens. We have become tired and weary of all the worries of the world. We chase after wisdom and knowledge, wealth, fame and glory to escape from our burdens.

But the educated, the rich and the famous are not happy either. They simply  acquire more worry as they amass more wealth and knowledge. They try to escape from it, but they could not – because they do not know how to, and are at a loss about where to look for peace.

The Lord Jesus Christ calls us: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, 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” (Mat. 11:28-29).

How comforting it is to just read these verses.

How fortunate we are to have seen the  Lord who loves us. How wonderful it is to have received this invitation.

If you have not come to the Lord Jesus, it is time to come to Him. The world with all its desires will soon be passing away.
