The Christian Finds Rest in Jesus Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Last week we began a new series to help us define what it means to be a Christian, and rather than listening to all the ideas out there in the world we're listening to Jesus…

25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows…

Jesus' words in the sermon on the mount were counter cultural during His time. They continue to be counter coultural, yet we are to live by His words, still today. Today we look at Matthew 5:5 and discover that though the world says meekness is weakness, Jesus says the opposite is true. Meekness is power in control, but what does that look like? Find out in this sermon...

We were created by God to live with a healthy cadence in life. However, far too many of us are living without margin in every area of our lives. We fill our calendars. We can’t say no. We live with a harmful drive to achieve. We have lost hope that it will slow down anytime soon. Jesus offers us such a gift in saying that he has come to give us rest. This rest is found in a grace that does not demand that we jump through all the hoops or get everything right. The rest that Jesus offers is an unmerited favor for anyone who comes to Him. This grace is best experienced in community. We can learn from Jesus as we learn from one another. When we do Church with one another, we lift one another up, we protect one another’s boundaries, and we carry one another’s burdens.

When you feel like life is just too much, and you're heavy from trying to get everything done on your own, what you need is God's Yoke. His Yoke is Easy, and His Burden is Light! You have never heard the YOKE illustrated in this fashion. Your rest awaits you at the end of this sermon. Check it out!

We can give all we have to Jesus. It is said in Matthew 11:28-29 saying, "Come to me, all you who are waery and burdened, and I will give you rest."... "for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." We give Him the full weight of all our sin. Because we give God such a burden, we must offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; as said in Romans 12:1. We give Jesus our disobedience to obey God. We are wounded and weary.

What did Jesus offer as evidence for being the Christ to the disciples of John? What link did Jesus make between John the Baptist and prophecy? What is Jesus inviting us to when He says "take my yoke upon you"?

When we identify with Jesus, we have the security and strength of Jesus. This carries one into our work day as we stop trying to strive to please the one who has already accepted us IN Christ.

Veils of lies and deceit are being removed. We have seen so many people stuck in unknown patterns. We have seen people hit walls and for some reason they can not get healed or breakthrough.

3 steps to rest in God

The Father is revealed in the Son. Jesus said that, unlike the burdens imposed by Israel's religious leaders, His Yoke is easy and His burden is light and He welcomes those who are weary and burdened.

The LORD appointed the use of the anointing oil just as He appointed the Jewish feasts, and as so many have removed the observances of those feasts, so have they removed the observance of using anointing oil.

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has a "or else" to it.
