Come unto Me all you who labor

Come unto Me all you who labor

"Come unto Me all you who labor, and are heavy laden—and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Burdened one, listen to this call of love. Whatever oppresses or troubles you—come with it to the gracious Savior. He bore the tremendous load of sin in His own body on the tree—that every burdened sinner might lose his load of guilt.

And He took on Him the heaviest weight of sorrow—that we may trustfully come with our lighter burdens and roll them upon Him. Many a weary and burdened one has come to Jesus and proved His faithfulness; many a one can sing—

"I came to Jesus as I was—
  Weary and worn and sad;
  I found in Him a resting-place,
  And He has made me glad!"

Beloved reader, are you burdened with guilt, and weary with a load of sin? Then come and prove for yourself that there is rest in Jesus. He invites you as truly as if you heard His voice calling you by name! Cast yourself, in your helplessness, on His love!

Trust in His atoning blood and in His finished work for pardon and acceptance—and commit yourself to His all-sufficient grace. When you can cease from depending on yourself, and can trust your all with Christ—you will find rest, and be filled with joy and peace in believing.

To Jesus, then, burdened and weary one, come,
And find in His bosom your rest and your home.

Back to Every Day!
