Did you know Jesus invites us to come and
rest? He actually says, “Come to me, all
you who are weary & burdened, and I will give you rest.” There’s the invitation, so what will we do
with it?
The next part of the passage is the other part
of the invitation, and it invites us to take his “yoke” upon us and “learn from
Him.” So this is a call to join up with
Christ and learn how to rest.
He then describes who He is – gentle and
humble in heart.
This gentle, humble Savior personally invites
those who are really tired and weak to join up with Him. Somehow that connection transfers everything
that weighs us down onto His shoulders so that we can – yes – REST.
There’s another verse that says His strength
is made perfect in our weakness. That
must mean that when we rest we become strong.
So when we are invited to experience rest, perfection is at work making us strong.
Go to Him. Accept His invitation.
