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.

Believe it and you’ll see it. So much strength comes from believing a higher power will give you strength. ❤️🙏💪

“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
