S: Matthew 11:28-30 "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."
O: Jesus had been talking about John the Baptist preparing the way and how people didn't recognize the coming of the kingdom. People didn't even see the miracles Jesus was doing as coming from God, no repentance.
Then Jesus says he will take our burdens and give us rest for our souls. The conditions however are that we come to him and let him teach us. The other condition is that we put his yoke upon us. What does this mean to put on the yoke of Jesus?
A: I need to put on the yoke of Jesus. How do I do this? I think I know how to let him teach me. Is this what it involves or more? Does it require surrender, obedience, dependence, repentance and worship? I desperately need rest for my soul.
P: Jesus help me to understand what it means to put your yoke upon my shoulders. I want the kind of rest for my soul that only you can give. Your burden is light. Teach me today and help me to listen. IJN, Amen
S: Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads. I will give you rest." New Century Version
O: God is saying come to me all of you who are STRESSED and TIRED and I will give you peace.
A: If I am stressed about Taekwondo Juan Moreno (Olympic Coach) coming in two weeks, I should ask God to give me peace.
P: Dear God, help me to ask you for peace when I get stressed about Juan Moreno Seminar or any other stress I have in life (school). I know you can carry my load for me.
