Just Come!
Matthew 11:28 – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Jesus is so gracious and keen to give rest to every troubled and heavy laden soul. One of His purposes of coming is to give rest to humanity- to stop the defeated and profitless life of human. How can this be?
Jesus giving us rest is just by our coming. That is the first and basic criteria to having divine rest from God. How can we come? Does it mean until we die and meet Jesus before we can have rest? No! We come to Jesus through our faith in Him. We need nothing else first but just faith. Jesus is bidding us come, just as we are and nothing more.
Some will say you have to be perfect and holy before coming unto Jesus and before having rest. No! Jesus came not for the perfect and holy; Matthew 9:12; and it is not primarily your perfection and holiness that will give you rest but your coming to Jesus. Just obey the bidding and come first then you will see how your rest will come.
Beloved of God, that load is too heavy and you can help yourself [even me can’t help myself], so we have to come unto Jesus daily. Come to Jesus the way you are, whether as a sinner or whatever to find rest to that troubled life.
May come give us grace to come unto Him and once we have come, may we have the strength to say no to the things of this world and to continue in Christ Jesus, in Jesus name – Amen.
