Come to Me

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
-Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

"because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” -Luke 1:78-79 (NIV)

Am I full of peace? Am I full of rest? If not, Jesus says, "Come to Me"

When we follow Christ, we will find rest.

In this passage, Jesus is saying, "if you want peace, put on my yoke." What can "putting on a yoke" do?

3.) It's as simple as believing.
