Celebrating Eight Years of God's Faithfulness
Matthew 11:20-31
Life is hard.
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.Matthew 5:45
Sometimes life gets harder.
Jesus sends an invitation for all who have gone through it and are tired.
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.John 7:37
Jesus sends an invitation for all who are carrying a heavy load.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.John 6:37
Jesus is offering to shoulder your burden.
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:7
Jesus wants you to know Him.
Learn of me…
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.John 17:3
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.James 4:8
It’s not enough to know things about Jesus, it’s about getting to know Him.
Nearness requires proximity.
Jesus is not offering a temporary escape.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 14:6
Jesus wants to give you rest in the depths of your soul.
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,2 Thessalonians 1:7
How do we get that peace?
Submit to his authority or lordship. Follow His plan. Let Him handle the weight of the burden. Trust the process.
20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:20-30
