Rest to Your Soul

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."(Matt 11:28-30)

The rest that God promises is the eternal rest in the eternal God. Rest and peace are inseparable, there can be no rest
without peace. Not worldy peace found in the enforcement of man-made laws and exaction but the peace that the
weary heart longingly desires. 

God has provided this peace. He has broken down the wall of partition and released the weary soul from the 
grip of guilt and the power of sin. Knowing God through Jesus Christ brings deeper and more exalted conceptions of the character 
of God. Seeing the eternal Creator give His life for His creatures put His love high above all earthly attractions, it brings a 
peace in knowing that God would do all to save and has saved us "in Christ." We are asked only to believe these facts of the gospel 
and let the love of God carry us through.

Knowing who God is is essential to true rest. Knowing how He relates to us, Knowing all the dimentions of His love that He
has revealed in His Son should be the constant study of all believers. Take up the yolk of Christ and learn of Him. God invites us to
labour and find true rest.
