Matthew 11:27-30 (Message) – Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
Here is the answer Jesus gave to being tired and worn out. Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. Walk with me and work with me.
Notice He didn’t say to pray for rest or peace but to take the time to get into His presence. The rest and peace come from His presence. if we don’t do our part (come to Him and get away with Him), He won’t be able to do His part (give us rest and peace and teach us how to walk with Him in His ways).
