As we all know, life can be difficult and distressing. It can be to the point where (as the memes say) we be like: “Is there some way I can just take a break from my life? I don’t want to leave it forever, just for a while. No, I don’t want to take it on vacation with me, I want to leave it behind, too.”
In the context of this reality Jesus still says to us, “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).
Essentially Jesus is saying, “Let’s do this together. I’m here to support you. I’m here to ease your burdens. No, not totally eliminate them because to live in this world, everyone has to pay a tribulation tax. Even I did. But I will share my resources and life secrets with you to help lighten your load, and the result will be rest for your soul. What do you say?”
Something to take just a moment to consider today.
