How do we know that Jesus offers rest for our souls?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly promises in Matthew 11:28-30 that He will give rest to those who come to Him.

The assurance that Christ offers rest comes directly from His words in Matthew 11:28, where He invites the burdened to come to Him. In this passage, He not only proclaims His willingness to give rest but illustrates the nature of His character as meek and lowly in heart. This promise is significant as it is coupled with the types of people Jesus addresses—those who are aware of their labor and burdens, indicating the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing conviction of sin. Christ's authority in this promise stems from His divine nature, as all things are delivered to Him from the Father, further affirming His power to grant spiritual peace and rest.
