About this listen

In this encouraging message from Matthew 11:25-30, we explore one of Jesus' greatest invitations: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." After pronouncing judgment on cities that refused to repent, Jesus reveals the heart of the Father—a God who hides spiritual truth from the proud and "wise," but reveals it to the humble and childlike. Drawing from Proverbs 30 and the wisdom literature, we see that human understanding often rejects the ways of God, but those who come to Jesus weary and worn out will find rest for their souls. This sermon confronts two common errors in modern Christianity: the legalistic burden of never being "good enough," and the charismatic burden of never being "spiritual enough." Both rob believers of intimacy with God and turn grace into a grinding performance. Whether you're exhausted from trying to earn God's approval or worn out from chasing spiritual experiences, Jesus offers a gentle and lowly invitation: take His yoke, which is easy, and His burden, which is light. If you've been carrying a heavy load, this message is for you.
