Matthew
A Spotlight on the Scriptures

This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28–30 is a divine invitation. Jesus is calling the weary, the damaged, the wounded. He’s not offering a nap—He’s offering rest. Not temporary relief, but eternal redemption. Not just a break from the burden, but a breakthrough into blessing. To rest in God is to lay your load down. It’s to take your stress, your sin, your sorrow—and put it in the hands of the Savior. It’s to stop striving and start surrendering. It’s to receive forgiveness, walk in freedom, and live in the light of eternal life.
Listen to me: you won’t find real rest in this world until you find rest in Jesus. Not in money. Not in status. Not in relationships. Not in religion. But in the risen Christ who says, “Come to Me.” That’s salvation. That’s restoration. That’s soul-level peace. So if you’re tired of being tired, if your soul is heavy and your heart is worn—come to Jesus. He’s gentle. He’s lowly. And He’s ready to give you rest that reaches deeper than sleep and lasts longer than Sunday.
