RE: The Gospel of Matthew

in #reliquary6 years ago

Matthew 11: 28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
Matthew 11: 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

V. 28 is an open invitation God is giving to every "busy heart and mind". We are off-load our worries, struggles , addiction ,... to Him. His arms are wide open. Having laid all at the feet of the Lord, v.29 admonishes us to enrol into the Lord's "School of Disciples". The yoke is a call to be likt Him so we can enter into the perfect rest as promised in Hebrews 4.

Thank you @reliquary for helping us read the bible on the blockchain.

...and until you take advantage of the rare invitation, you might never attain true and absolute rest.
