Who can come to Christ for rest?

Jesus is clear about who can come to Him in Matthew 11:28, stating, 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.' This invitation is directed specifically to those who recognize their labor and burdens, often due to sin and the weight of their consequences. The call is not universal to all people in pride, but to those who are meek, lowly, and aware of their need for redemption. Thus, it is the sinner, the one who understands their spiritual state, that is invited to embrace the rest that Christ provides.
