Restlessness and Rest
How do we experience true rest in a culture that is always busy. We are always doing something, the TV is always on, the schedule is always full. And we are tired. Jesus offers us rest if we will do a "yoke exchange" - will you take him up on his offer?

The Easy Life
Much is communicated about the difficulty of living the Christian life, but our Lord indicates that this is not necessarily so. Our text describes a life that is substantially less burdensome and invites us to come unto Him and experience it for ourselves.

The Church in Smyrna: Revelation 2:8
The church in Smyrna was made up of poor people who had endured many hardships. Jesus, the First and the Last, who defeated death, knows their tribulation, poverty, and the slander from the Jews that they have endured. Jesus tells them that he hears them, and yet they continue suffering. Not only does he call the church to not be afraid, he calls them to be faithful by treasuring him above all else, even to the point of death. He promises that the sufferings we experience right now, no matter how heavy they are, will one day seem light and momentary compared to the glory that he holds in store for his people. He suffered to end our suffering. He suffered so that no matter how much we have suffered at death, it is over. We will have an eternity with him.

Fourth Commandment: Work and Rest Rhythm
Maybe as much as any of the 10, this command to enjoy God in work-rest rhythm shows where things might be broken inside even while we have the right answers to all sorts of Bible related questions.

When You're Slammed
We often need practical help with our tendency to over commit. We have to be reminded to slow down and enjoy the most important things in life. But it's important to know what the Bible says about rest also. Jesus talks about a deeper rest in Matthew 11:28-29 when he said: “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.” This idea of rest for our souls is what is often missing from a lot of popular advice for dealing with the stresses of life.

Looking To God For Rest
In this morning’s text we find that Jesus offers us an invitation to rest! The world offers long weekends, cookouts, and road trips. And these are all fine BUT they only address the physical aspect of rest. FRIENDS – There is a greater rest that we all need and this rest comes only from knowing God through His Son, Jesus Christ. This morning we look at the Rest of Salvation and the Rest of Satisfaction found in Jesus Christ.
