Today is Christmas Eve. Some are awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus or looking for Frosty the Snowman. Those symbols of the worldly holiday season offer no hope. I am looking for the blessed return of my Lord Jesus Christ. It is Him alone that you will find true peace and rest, regardless of your circumstances. We have been focusing on making a "Christian invitation." It is found in Matthew 11: 28: "Come unto me, all that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Rest such as this is within the reach of all who are willing to seek Him and receive Him. The poor man is not sio poor but he may have it. The ignorant man is not so ignorant but he may know it. The sick man is not so weak and helpless but he may get hold of it. Faith, simple faith, is the one thing needful in order to possess Christ's rest. Faith in Christ is the grand secret of happiness. Neither poverty, nor ignorance, nor tribulation, nor distress can prevent men and women feeling rest of soul, if they will only come to Christ and believe.
