Rest for the weary

  Rest for the weary

Jesus said,

“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.” Matthew 11:28-30.

This is the call of Jesus to all who find themselves burdened. Come to Jesus, tell him the problem. And open your heart to his peace that passes all understanding.

Corrie Ten Boom a Christian who hid Jews from the Nazi’s in the Netherlands knew what it was to be burdened, what it was like to suffer. For aiding Jews, during world war two, the Nazi’s imprisoned her first in Scheveningen prison then sent to the Herzogenbusch-Vught and Ravensbrück concentration camps. Yet through it all she could say,

“There is no pit so deep, 

that God's love is not deeper still.”

                                                      Corrie Ten Boom.

God loves you. Jesus speaking of himself said,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16,17.

God loves you so much he sent his son (Jesus) to die for you.

The question is do you believe this. Are you willing to put your trust in Christ Jesus. Are you willing to let Jesus take your burdens and give you rest.

Please think about it.
