He who is burdened and Heavy laden

Matthew 11:25–30 NKJV

At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you 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.”

One man had said that, He who has pride as his mother cannot have God as his Father.

Pride is the attitude that puffs oneself up in his mind to think he is more than he truly is.

This is like little dog sindrom.

My little brothers pitbull, verse my parents miniture pinture.

This is how God views all of us when we paint ourselves better than we ought to.

Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.

Matthew 23:12 NKJV

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Proverbs 23:12 NKJV

Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge.

Pride is not the issue of what you possess but what possesses your heart?

When its not God then its you, your wants, your desires, your passions.

This was the difference between the rich young ruler who sought righteousness through works and zacheus who was a tax collector.

The pharisee who says i thank you God i am not like other men Vs. the tax collector that beats his chest and says, “O, Lord have mercy upon me a sinner.)

The 12 disciples that were fisherman, commoners Vs. the saavy religious leaders with all their fancy wardrobe.

Its the difference between the proud in heart and the poor in spirit.

Gods not looking for the big shots but the nobodies. Not the ones that think they are something but the ones that know they are nothing.

This is the problem with the religious leaders of this day they couldn’t get passed this Jesus fellow and his radical claims of himself and them.

for one they were putting on a show of hypocrisy.

Beware of false teachers

For it was what He claim to be is why they sought to kill him.

He claim to be one with God… and in more clear terms to be God.

The path to the Father is through the son.

They could not see who the person was that was standing right in front of them.

The miracles that he worked to prove who He was. That prophesied of his existence long before He was born.

The Bible testifies that Jesus is more than just a mere mortal man. He was God in Flesh.

colossians 1:15-

Colossians 1:15–17 NKJV

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

What are things we labor for in this life?

Is is not tiresome to try to maintain a street credit?

Wrestling and boxing. Always had to train to try and be the best or get there.

What are things we go to work to purchase?

These things don’t bring happiness but rather greater turmoil. Strive. Anxiety.

Solomon testified these thing were just mere chasing after the winds.

As this was written and spoken to a culture that had labor for righteousness but came up short. That were burdened with laws to obtain righteousness but continually were failing. Never able to achieve.

Those who have labored and are wore down. Have seen the paths that their feet tread upon and find that they only led to greater agony.

Preaching the Word: Matthew—All Authority in Heaven and on Earth He Who Has the Son Has Rest

I love whom Jesus invites, but also to what he invites them. After verse 28, “and I will give you rest,” perhaps you expected to read something about a vacation destination, a new recliner, a relaxing massage, or a sleeping pill. Instead you find a work order: “Take my yoke upon you” (v. 29). Do you know what a yoke is? It’s an instrument for work. It is a wooden frame that is placed upon the shoulders in order to make a load or burden easier to carry. It is designed to distribute the weight in equal proportions to both sides of the body. Do you see the paradox here? “What yoke is comfortable, what burden light?”18

Jesus doesn’t promise escape from reality, but he promises the right equipment to deal with it. He promises a yoke. A yoke! But what is his yoke? “Take my yoke upon you.” His yoke has something to do with his teachings, because he adds “and learn from me” (v. 29). So, it is not the heavy yoke of the scribes and Pharisees. It is not those “heavy burdens,” as Jesus calls them in 23:4 (cf. 15:1–9), that Israel’s rulers have laid upon “people’s shoulders” (23:4). Biblical burdens, if we can call them that, have a lightness to them because they have been graciously given by God as gifts to help us, given from the mouth of a man who is indeed, in every way, “gentle and lowly in heart,” one who has carried them himself (5:17)—our Lord Jesus!

He gives us the example to which He lived by.

He left a throne for rags.

Glory for a cross

Praise for rebuke

That He would with a mighty and strong arm save sinners.

If you love me then you will obey me.

Gives us wisdom for life and life to come.

Spiritual rest for your weary soul that is craving to be satisfied is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

John 6:35–37 NKJV

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

John 6:35-

John 3:16 NKJV

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
