Rest


 Matthew 11:28 says:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Short Commentary:

In this verse, Jesus extends a personal invitation to anyone who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or weighed down by life's struggles. Rather than telling people to work harder or solve their problems on their own, He calls them to come to Him. The "rest" Jesus offers is more than physical relief; it is peace for the soul, freedom from the burden of trying to earn God's favor, and comfort in the midst of life's challenges. This verse reminds believers that true rest is found in a relationship with Christ, who welcomes the weary with grace and compassion.

Reflection:
When life feels heavy, Jesus does not push us away because of our weakness. He invites us to bring our burdens to Him and trust Him to carry what we cannot.
