Scripture

Matthew 11

28 “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”


Observation

Humility and gentleness are marks of a true leader. Jesus had just talked about what a tremendous prophet John the Baptist was and yet he was rejected just like Jesus was rejected. Those that rejected the message of John the Baptist and had rejected Jesus would suffer for eternity. But anyone that would just come to Jesus, anyone that was teachable, anyone that was weary and loaded down by heavy burdens could find rest.


Application

Does your soul need a rest…then come to Jesus!


Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to know you in a personal way. Thank you that I can find rest in you. Teach me to be gentle and help me to be humble so that I can lead people the way that I should.
