Come to Jesus

“Come to me, all of you who are tired and have
heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Accept
my teachings and learn from me, because I am
gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find
rest for your lives. The teaching that I ask you
to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry
is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 ncv

AMP: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-
laden and over burdened, and I will cause you to
rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your
souls. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart,
and you will find rest—relief, ease and refreshment
and recreation and blessed quiet—for your souls. For
My yoke is wholesome (useful, good) not harsh, hard,
sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious and
pleasant; and My burden is light and easy to be borne.”

Song: Come unto Me
1. Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,
“O ye heavy laden, come to Me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear;
Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.”
Chorus: Come unto Me; I will give you rest;
Take my yoke upon you, Hear Me and be blest;
I am meek and lowly, Come and trust My might;
Come, My yoke is easy, And My burden’s light.
(Charles P. Jones)

It is good to be reminded that we can still
come to Jesus for a deep rest. It feels so
good to be in His arms and receive healing.

So let's trust Jesus today!
