Hope is Here – Hope for the Weary

September 19, 2021   /   High Point Assembly of God

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ESV

HOPE IS HERE

  

 LIFE IS HARD

Jesus is doing a couple of things here in this passage.

 

1 – Jesus that life is heavy.

We work hard to keep up with others around us and we get weary.

 

 

2 – Jesus us a solution.

The yoke Jesus is offering is one of grace, mercy, compassion, and love.

 

 

 

 

 LIFE BURDENS – CRUSHING OR LIFEGIVING

 

Our comes from the love that he has for us and the grace he gives.

 

Yoke: Designed for the individual but able to be so two would work together.

 

 

 

 

 THE CHURCH CAN HELP

 

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. CEV

 

We, THE CHURCH, can help shoulder these burdens by offering grace, forgiveness, and a willingness to help navigate a better way.
