This morning, I can't help but remember the invitation that our Savior Jesus gave to us in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus invites us to "come" to Him if we need rest. He invites us to learn from His gentle heart and He promises that if we do that we will have 'rest for your soul'. What a comfort those words are to us. He never promised that we would not have problems or sickness in this world but He said that when we do have these difficulties He stands with out stretched arms to comfort and heal us and make our burdens light and bearable. What a loving Savior!! Each of us have our own set of difficulties and, praise God, if we are His child He made us a promise to care for us and see us through. It is my prayer that this week, each of us will lean on His out stretched arms and know His comfort.
I will be speaking this week on Jesus as Intercessorfor His children. We missed you last week but we look forward to seeing you in a few days.
Leaning on Him,
Pastor Jack
