Come unto me Matthew 11:28   I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.

There the entire purpose of Christ’s coming is expressed in a few lines; how the anxious and worried – The sick and the suffering- the bruised and afflicted- those who find it too much can come – and He will Give rest.

The simplicity of the invitation.  The Lord Jesus said, ” Come unto me.  He did not say sacrifice – He did not say fast- He did not say first clean up- He just said COME.

The extent of the invitation.  The Lord Jesus said, ” Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”   The cares of this world are common both to palace and shack to rich and poor; to educated and uneducated; to the African who sits alone in a hut in the forest, and to the skilled city worker.  Christ’s invitation welcomes the whole world “For God so loved the world. .

“All who labor and are heavy laden-with care, with fear, with toil-may respond to the Invitation of Christ, and be certain to receive a welcome.

The Surety of the Invitation.  The Lord Jesus said, ” Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  Life is filled with disappointments, and even the most reliable have a habit of failing  Circumstances like vapors that come and go but here God says I will.  The one who can not lie – the one that never changes says COME and I will.  Even although all else may have failed God says he will.

The Lord Jesus said, ” Come unto me . . . and I will give you rest.” That promise has been subject to the tests of time and circumstance, yet during the long interval which has elapsed since He first uttered the words, no voice has ever charged Him with inability to honor His promise. The promises of God are always true.

He who comes I will never refuse. John 6:37  All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. Actually the meaning includes, Ill hold you tight and never let you go.

He who comes will never hunger and thirst. John 6:35  Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

The Lord Jesus said, ” Come unto me . . . and I will give you rest.” Rest cannot be bought with earth’s currency, it is of God. It is not advice freely given; it is not sympathy sincerely expressed; it is not financial assistance

• Rest is healing for a woundedheart
• Comfort for a troubled mind
• Fellowship for a lonely spirit
• Relief beyond description  for a haunted soul.
• Rest is dawn after midnight,
• Calm after storm
• Laughter after tears
• Glad reunion after heart-breaking separation.
• Rest is heaven’s gift to a weary world.

No government can supply it; no engineer can manufacture it ; no church can claim a monopoly on its distribution. It belongs exclusively to Christ, and He alone can give it to others. He said, “Come unto me . . . and I will give you rest.”

No night sky is completely clouded if one star is visible, and likewise no life is completely dark if Just one word can be heard COME.
