Only Christ Can Give You Rest

Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

I have yet to meet a caregiver who is not weary or tired. Often, most caregivers are both.

But our needs go far beyond emotional and physical exhaustion.

Apart from Christ, our souls are hopelessly laden with the crushing burden of seeking to earn salvation and be counted as righteous before God.

Yet there is one person in whom we can find rest.

There is one person in whom our striving can cease.

There is one person in whom we can truly know and enjoy God.

"Come to me," Jesus says.

True rest can be found nowhere else.
