READ: MATTHEW 11:25-30
25 Then Jesus prayed this prayer: ‘O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike.
26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!
27 My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 Then Jesus said, come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.
30. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light. “
In this passage, Jesus teaches us three things we must do in order to find true peace or rest. First, we need to come to Jesus. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have already taken this step Those who are still searching might be right at the door. But know this: True peace cannot be found in any other way.
Second, we must exchange our yoke to his yoke. A yoke is a wooden harness placed across the shoulders of oxen so they can pull something. We need to remove the heavy yoke of sin and put on the lighter yoke of God’s gracious forgiveness.
Third, we need to let Jesus lead. This is hard because we want to be in control. But to find rest we must give God the reins so he can lead us. ??
