An Invitation For The Weary

An Invitation For The Weary

Oct 27, 2024

Passage: Matthew 11:25-30

Preacher: Rob Holster

Series: Gospel of the Kingdom

Summary:

Are you weary and burdened? I think most of us would answer yes to that question at particular times in our lives. Maybe that's you right now. The good news is that Jesus has offered those who are burdened and weary an invitation that we need to explore. Matthew chapter 11 has so far been full of the hard sayings of Jesus. We don't know what to make of them. But it ends with a beautiful invitation to find rest for our souls. When we're weary and burdened by life we can turn to Jesus and find rest. That's the invitation. But the passage we're going to cover this week is actually three invitations: to become like children, to know God, and to find rest in Him. Yes, it's true that Jesus came with a warning for those who reject him. But on the other side of that is an invitation to life. For those who believe in him and receive him-––there is no condemnation. Instead there is an invitation to be a child of God, to know Him, and to find rest in Him.
