Word Of The Week: Jesus, Our Rest and Our Peace- Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
MEDITATION/ACTION
Jesus Christ is our rest. We cannot find rest outside of Him. We are not at rest when our wheat and our wine abound. We are not at rest when everything is going as we desire. We are not at rest when they are no problems in our lives. We are at rest when we have Jesus in our lives. He is the only place of rest that we can find. He is God’s plan of rest for the whole of mankind. Nothing can take His place in our lives. There is a work only He can do in us.
Have you ever seen the rich having all, yet unsatisfied, lacking peace and rest? Have you also seen the poor having little, yet satisfied, at peace and at rest? The presence of God makes the difference. In Jesus Christ we find peace, rest and satisfaction. There is no other source other than He.
Are you troubled on all sides and filled with cares? Do you carry loads that are too heavy for you? Is the storm too great for you to handle? Jesus is calling you unto Himself. Let Him in. He wants to give you the true rest that only He can give. He wants to take care of you and lift your burdens. He wants to calm your storm and give you the peace that passes all understanding. Submit to Him so that you can rest from your labour and be free from your heavy load and cares.
