Episode 73: Rest (Matthew 11: 28 - 30)

In this episode, we talk about the rest after the work – and asking for help. In Matthew 11: 28-30, Jesus speaks to us:  “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest.  For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.” Jesus acknowledges all the hard work John the Baptist has done in preparing people for the coming of Christ – and he knows the persecution John has received because of it. Jesus offers a resting place – he offers to carry your burdens – your cross. You don’t have to carry it on your own anymore. Have you ever felt alone in working hard? Have you ever asked for help or do you try to endure all by yourself? As always, let us know what you think and feel on this podcast, via on facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@Reg_Clay) and Deb Carriger (@DLCarriger) and we hope you have a blessed week.
