Matthew 11: 28-30: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." The Pharisees were a strict religious group. They made many laws as a requirement to be saved. In contrast, Jesus says, "Come to Me." What a beautiful expression. Jesus says to come to Him. He is still calling people today. He wants us to rest from our labors to save ourselves. "Salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9)." When we come to Him in repentance and faith, we will learn from Him. We will learn that salvation is because of what He has done for us in dying on the cross, being buried, rising from the dead and ascending to the glories of heaven for us. No one can hear Jesus say, "Come to Me," unless you have received grace and faith from the Holy Spirit first. When you hear the Master call, respond immediately. Admit you are responsible for your sins and turn away from them. Jesus will never turn away anyone who comes to Him. He is the Lord Jesus Christ and He will teach you.
