MATTHEW 11:28-30
- When Jesus announced that we all go unto him to receive rest for our troubles, it is clear that Jesus knew how people are suffering
- The troubles of this world make people at times give up their faith in God
- Jesus Christ knowing what people go through, he gives a call full of comfort and compassion that when we are weary and burdened – we run unto Him
- This is a calling that focus on giving us rest and hope to our faith in Chris
I# JESUS WILL GIVE US REST – Matthew 11: 28-30
- It should be remembered that in Jesus there is true rest – rest of joy
- In most cases a person who is tired due to several troubles – needs rest
- Rest gives a person new energy and a new state to continue ahead
- Rest can give a person new ideals and strategy on how to move ahead
- Jesus promised to give rest to those who are troubled and heavily burdened
- These can be troubles of hunger, sickness, poverty, wars and fighting (physically, spiritually, family, relationship, or even in ministry to God)
- For Jesus to give us rest from those troubles, we must go unto Him
- Let us believe in him, rely on him, and pray to him as Christ used to do unto His Father – Luke 6:12, let’s also keep praying – Matthew 7:7-8
II# JESUS WILL INCREASE OUR FAITH – Luke 17:1-5
- When a person is overwhelmed with life burdens and troubles as we just mentioned – hunger, sickness, poverty, and many other temptations – his or her faith at times may decline or waver.
- This is way Jesus wants us to take heart – he has overcome the world and so by his power we will do – John 16:33
- If we go unto Jesus – he will surely increase our faith so we can overcome temptations that comes our way – Mark 9:14-29 – (parent of the child) and Matthew17:19-21– (his disciples)
LASTILY, Matthew 8:23-27 – going unto Jesus when we are overwhelmed with burdens and troubles it is a step even the disciples of Jesus took. Therefore, lets go unto Jesus for help – to have true rest, and to see our faith increased.
