In Matthew 11 v 28-30 we see one aspect of rest,where our Saviour says ,'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 of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light'.Jesus spoke to the Jews of His day,to a people who were ruled by a severe religious group of people.Our Saviour in Matthew 23v4 tells us that,' they crush people with unbearable religious demands,and never lift a finger to ease the burden'.Jesus was inviting people to come to Him and the leagalistic burden would be lifted from them,and they would find rest for their souls.What ever burdens we are being forced to carry come to Jesus and find rest.
'I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad,
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.' (Words Horatius Bonar)
