“Come To Me, All You That Are Weary”

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no ones knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying a heavy burden, 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 12:25-30

We were not meant to direct our own lives, and Jesus didn’t start with a self-improvement program. Instead, He promised that in seeking Him we will find the rest we long for.

Jesus taught that it’s simply through knowing Him that we know God. In seeking Him, we find our heavy burdens lifted and our lives transformed.

Because following Him, our gentle and humble Leader is never burdensome – it’s the way of hope and healing. Resting in His love, we are free.

True freedom is found in following Christ.
