The magnificent teaching of Jesus was recorded by His disciples (in the case of Matthew, Mark and John) and carefully investigated by Luke. As they list his teaching, for example in the Sermon on the Mount. It can seem like a lot to take in. The teaching is so good, that you want to carefully consider each truth at a time. In the case of the "Jesus Invitation". (Matt 11:28-30) It's at the end of some high theology that Jesus throws down in His prayer to the Father in chapter 11. It's at the end of the prayer where He switches from addressing the Father to addressing those around Him. Consider now the Jesus invitation:Matt. 11:28 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
He invites us to what John referred to as LIFE and that more abundantly. (John 20:30-31) Today we can unload the burdens of this life and come to Him. He's the wonderful counselor and the prince of peace!
