What does the Bible say about finding rest in Jesus?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible invites those who are heavy laden to come to Jesus for rest, as He offers an easy yoke and a light burden (Matthew 11:28-30).
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus extends an invitation to all who are weary and burdened, promising rest to those who come to Him. He contrasts His gentle and humble nature with the heavy burdens placed by the law. By taking His yoke upon ourselves, we enter into a relationship with Him that replaces the overwhelming demands of the law with the grace of His gospels. This signifies not only relief from the weight of sin but also a partnership where Christ carries the burden alongside us, enabling us to rest in His sufficiency.
