“Come to Me…”

“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 11:20-30, NIV)

Jesus’ invitation for salvation is for all who are weary and burdened, especially the individuals who had been held hostage by the self-righteous religious elite of His day (the scribes and pharisees). They opposed Jesus and cared for Him as much as they cared to help those they loaded down with heavy religious burdens.

It was to these weary and burdened individuals that Jesus extended a clear invitation for salvation, calling them out of religion and into a relationship with Him.

Is your soul weary with the burden of religion? Are you exhausted in your vain attempt to earn salvation? Come to Jesus and find the rest your soul longs for. He has made the way for you to enjoy peace and fellowship with God forever!
