Real Rest

JANUARY 18, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 33-34 / Matthew 11:20-30

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     It was very possible that in today’s verse Christ was speaking to Jewish people who had been oppressed by the ceremonial and ritualistic laws of their religion. He was saying to them, if you will embrace me as your Saviour, you can then rest from these burdensome legalistic manmade laws. That had to sound good.

    As we read it today, He is telling us the same thing. Many have searched for a truth in life and tried to find it in work, wealth, worldliness, and whatever might fill that emptiness inside.

    In John 14:6, it says Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Once you find Jesus’ way is the truth of life, you can rest from the constant search. 

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

    Will it be His way of rest, or yours of worry?
