"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
Beloved, we all experience weariness. Every evening we make our way to bed. We are seeking to find peace, comfort, and the hope of a new day dawning. Sometimes the need for rest is felt more than at other times but we cannot go long without finding it.
The restlessness of sin taxes the soul severely. A broken life and the trials of the day bring the spirit down. The need for true peace cannot be avoided for long. No amount of self-medication or temporal relaxation can remedy the sin issue or the woes of life.
Only the invitation given by Christ can redeem, comfort, and bring eternal peace. It is in coming to Him, ceasing from self, and depending upon His steadfast love that we find rest. Thankfully this is an enduring invitation. One that you can take Jesus up on today. Will you? Will you come to the Lord and cast all your cares upon Him? Jesus is waiting.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
