Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV). 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.......
Thoughts on This Verse...
I guess we could call it the irony of discipleship. To follow Christ means that we give up everything and follow him. To follow Christ means that we receive untold blessings in this life and eternal life with God in the life to come. So is it hard? Yes, sometimes it is. But life is hard. Is the burden light as Jesus promised? Yes, because we know our lives are not lived in vain, that we are living life as God intended it, and when life is over, it isn't really over! We get to go home and be with our Lord!

| ALELUYA !!! Oh that will be a day when JESUS give the instructions to his angels to let us enter to his throne and bow down in front of the King of the Universe and adore him at his feet. Oh my Lord God, I will see your beloved son JESUS, with his pierce hands and feet, just thinking makes, my body tremble of sadness and joy on what HIS love did, JUST FOR ME !!! HE IS WORTHY OF ALL GLORY AND HONOR !!!! |  |
