Matthew 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
What a wide open invitation to come to Christ! No one who reads or hears these words can honestly say, “God did not invite me to come to Him.” It is an invitation to both salvation and a life of service. Every unsaved person is heavy laden with sin and the stress and guilt that sin causes. But the good news is that there is rest in Christ. Isn’t it strange, that people will laboriously work to try to be saved? But salvation is not received by working, but by resting in Him.
