I Will Give You Rest

Matthew 11:25-28  NIV

²⁵ At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. ²⁶ Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

   ²⁷ “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

   ²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

What's the most "weary" you've ever been? 

I don't think weary is a word we say too often.  Somehow it connotes more than just being "tired."  

"Weary" is something deep down.  It's almost more a condition of the soul than the body.  

Jesus tells us in this passage, in no uncertain or unclear way, that he and the Father are one.  He is the ultimate revelation of the very nature and heart of God among us.  

And that nature?  

Rest for the weary.  

We don't have to go through the beauty of this life angry, frustrated or road-worn.  There is rest.  He is our God.  And all will be well. 

Grace & Peace,

Adam
