How do we know that Jesus can provide rest for our souls?

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus explicitly states, 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' This promise highlights His role as the source of true peace and fulfillment, which contrasts heavily with the futility and exhaustion found in human efforts. Throughout Scripture, Jesus is reiterated as the one who brings salvation and relief from life’s burdens, ultimately providing rest that is unavailable through personal striving or worldly pursuits (Ecclesiastes 2:22-23).
