How do we know that Jesus will give us rest?

The assurance that Jesus will give us rest is rooted in His divine authority and His intimate knowledge of our needs. In Matthew 11:28, He explicitly commands those who are laboring and burdened to come to Him. This command is both an invitation and a declaration of His capability to provide what we desperately need. When considering the nature of Christ as fully God and fully man, we see that He understands our struggles and temptations, as He has faced all trials without sin (Hebrews 4:15). Additionally, His promise is further affirmed in Revelation 3:21, where He states that those who overcome will be granted the privilege to sit with Him in glory. Thus, we have a firm foundation for believing in His promise of rest.
