One of my favorite passages in the Bible comes straight from Jesus’ mouth in verses 28-30, “28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” The notes in my Bible are really good. They say that the “rest” that Jesus promises is love, healing, and peace with God. It doesn’t end work for us; we still need to work, but we can work with the peace and understanding that we are working for God’s glory and are a reflection and example of Him. A true relationship with God can turn meaningless and tiring work into a spiritual and productive purpose in this life. We need to accept this as an opportunity to bring glory to Him.
