Scripture: Matthew 11: 28-30
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Scripture Commentary: God invites us when He says, “Come to me.”
“Come to me.” God is inviting us to come to Him. Accept His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Savior. God will free you of the earthly burdens that you carry.
When we put ourselves in Jesus’s care, the problems we thought we had are not as important anymore. The peace we have is so relative that it gives us the answers we need.
What type of person are you?
Jesus mentioned two types of people in prayer: the “wise” who are arrogant in their knowledge, and the “little children” who humbly open themselves to receive the truth of God’s word.
Are you wise in your own eyes or do you seek the truth in childlike faith, realizing that only God holds all the answers? Christ’s death and resurrection gave us direct access to the Father. How fortunate we are that Jesus clearly revealed God to us!
