Come to me, all 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)
Three points:
1. People do labor and are weighed down with heavy burdens.
This burdens are not always financial, emotional, physical, it is the spiritual burden that people carry that is the heaviest. Being created in God's image and yet being carrying the burden of rebellion.
2. Jesus' yoke.
A well made yoke makes the burden easier, because the fit is correct. The pressure of the pulling is even allowing no sores. Jesus is the best carpenter. Jesus is the best master.
3. Rest for our souls.
Nothing like going to bed at night after hard work. Finally, a time to rest. The rest that the Lord Jesus gives is like no other. It is complete, perfect, and timeless.
