Who He Is….The Heart of Jesus (1) Easter 2021
Matthew 11.28-30
The heart is the central animating feature of all that we are and all that we do.
Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30 (CSB)
* The one thing that we are to do, as His people is found in the first three words of the scripture.
#1 - Come to me
#2 - Repeat #1
What do you think of when you hear the name Jesus? Do you know Him as loving. open. welcoming. kind. understanding. compassionate? His heart for you is gentle and humble. In what ways can you continuously ‘come to Jesus’?
* The qualifying attribute of a person that is to come to him is to be weary and to be burdened.
The minimum bar to be enfolded into the embrace and care of Jesus is to open yourself to Him. Spend some time in communion with your savior, taking steps of vulnerability with the one who is gentle and humble. Talk with Him about what is wearying you and what burdens your soul.
* What do you gain in coming to Him?
Rest. You find rest for your soul. His rest is a gift and not a transaction. Why is it important that you know the heart of Jesus?
His yoke is kind and His burden is light. Happy Easter!
