0827 耶稣是我们的安息

凡劳苦担重担的人可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑,你们当负我的轭,学我的样式;这样,你们心里就必得享安息。因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的。

马太福音 11:28-30

耶稣是我们的安息。祂使我们从疲倦中得解脱,恢复精力,使我们能够执行神的旨意。祂已永远地将我们从我们罪的重担和由文士及法律赛人所解释的律法中解放出来。耶稣说……

我的安息是永不无聊,也从不是忙碌的。我的安息是约翰所知道的关系,就是他将他的头靠在我的胸怀:他在那里听见我的声音,并领受力量和爱来遵行我的旨意……

0827 JESUS is our REST

JESUS is our REST.  He gives us relief from our weariness, refreshment which will enable us to carry out God’s will.  He has permanently released us from the burden of our sin and from the Jewish law as interpreted by the scribes and Pharisees.  JESUS says…

My rest is never boring, yet it is never busy.  My rest is the relationship which John knew as he laid his head on my chest: there he heard My voice, and received strength and love to do My will…

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavyladen, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.  For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30
