Jesus' promise of rest is evidenced by His infinite mercy and the countless testimonies of those who have found peace in Him.
The assurance of Jesus' promise of rest (Matthew 11:28) is rooted in His divine character and historical fulfillment. His willingness to invite all burdened souls to come to Him reflects His infinite mercy and grace, a theme consistent throughout Scripture. Many believers, throughout history, bear witness to personal experiences of peace and relief from their burdens when they turned to Christ. Furthermore, passages such as John 6:37 affirm that He will not cast out anyone who seeks Him. This blend of divine promise, coupled with the assurance that He delights in showing compassion, solidifies the truth of His invitation.
