Stressed out?
Here’s what Jesus says to you:
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
- Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)
The deepest of rests for our souls
Amen!
I put my stress, difficulties at the foot of the cross…….
Jesus offers rest: The passage suggests that Jesus can provide relief from the burdens and stresses of life.
Jesus is gentle and lowly: This implies that Jesus is compassionate and approachable, making him a suitable source of comfort and guidance.
Jesus' yoke is easy: The metaphor of a yoke suggests that following Jesus' teachings and guidance is not a heavy or oppressive burden.
Jesus offers eternal rest: Some interpret the "rest for your souls" as referring to eternal peace and salvation.
Overall, the passage conveys a message of hope, comfort, and peace, inviting people to find solace and purpose in following Jesus.

“Come down off the cross, we can use the wood” https://youtu.be/wFrqclcm8pU
Read that during my quiet time this morning. What a comforting truth!
Anxiety, stress, and worry demonstrate a lack of faith. I have a lot of work to do…
Happy Sabbath!
My favourite translation of this is in The Message:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”Matthew 11:28-30 MSG
