Rest
By: Prathab V

Matthew 11:28-30

“ Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. ”

One of the things that attracted me to Jesus is the fact that Jesus never forced anyone to follow Him. Jesus only persuaded all through his teachings and was never coercive in His message of love and reconciliation to God the Father. It was love in action while teaching the people about God the Father.

In doing so, Jesus was humble and showed love to both adults and children. Jesus also accepted all kinds of ethnic groups – both Jews and Gentiles.

Even today, Jesus speaks through His Word, to everyone who humbly seeks the Creator earnestly. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. He hasn’t changed.

I am convinced that Jesus is the only hope for us. He is the only Messiah for humanity. He is kind, gentle and knows full well the sufferings we go through daily. He knows what weariness is all about because He Himself experienced it. Jesus knows what burdens of the heart and sorrows are, as He also went through it, even to the point of death.

Jesus promises to give us rest. He says his yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Today, let us surrender to Jesus and pray in faith. Are you weary? Go to Jesus. Are you tired and frustrated? Go to Jesus. Have you been back stabbed? Go to Jesus. Have you been misunderstood? Talk to Jesus. Seek Jesus with all your soul. Pour out your heart to Him. He understands. He will encourage and comfort you. Jesus said He will give us rest. So, just rest in Jesus.

Remember also that Jesus is coming soon. This morning, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Yield to Jesus and rest in Him.

Prayer :

Heavenly Father, I am tired of running and moving away from You. I see suffering and pain everywhere. But my heart tells me that You are the only hope and the answer. I yield to Your Son Jesus. Please take charge of my life Lord. Help me to focus and rest in You Lord. In Jesus’ name, I ask. Amen.

太11:28-30
“凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑，你们当负我的轭，学我的样式，这样你们心里就必得享安息。因为我的轭是容易的，我的担子是轻省的。”

我之所以会关注耶稣的其中一个原因是祂从未强迫任何人跟随祂。耶稣只通过祂的教导说服人们，而且从未强迫性地宣讲爱神和与神和好的信息。在教导人们关于天父时，祂实践爱。

耶稣如此谦卑，对成人和小孩都表达祂的爱。耶稣也接受各种族群，就如犹太人和外邦人。

今天，耶稣仍然透过祂的话语向那些谦卑地认真寻找造物主的人说话。耶稣昨日、今日直到永远都是一样的。祂不曾改变。

我相信耶稣是我们唯一的希望。祂是人类唯一的弥赛亚。祂良善、温柔，也对我们每天经历的苦难深有体会。祂明白我们的疲惫，因为祂亲身经历过。耶稣知道心灵和悲伤的重担，因为祂也承受过至死的痛苦。

耶稣保证给我们安息。祂说祂的轭是容易的，担子是轻省的。

今天，让我们降服于耶稣并虔诚祈祷。你感到疲乏吗？到耶稣那里。你又累又沮丧吗？到耶稣那里。你被朋友出卖了吗？到耶稣那里。你被误解了吗？跟耶稣说。全心全意寻找耶稣。向祂倾心吐意。祂理解你。祂会鼓励和安慰你。耶稣说祂会让我们得着安息。所以，在耶稣那里得享安息吧。

还要记住:耶稣将要再回来。今天早上，如果你听到祂的声音，不要刚硬你的心。降服于耶稣，在祂里面安息。

祈祷：天父，我不想再逃离祢。到处都是痛苦和悲伤。但我的心告诉我，祢是唯一的希望和答案。我降服于祢的儿子耶稣。主啊，请掌管我的生命。助我专注于祢并在祢里面安息。我奉耶稣的名祷告，阿门。
