COME TO ME Part 1

Key Passage: Matthew 11: 28

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden {and} overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” Amp B

Our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, is stretching out his hands to everyone that is burdened or is hurting to come to him for comfort and rest.

There is a deep longing in the soul of every man for hope, love, peace and rest. These are very precious treasures which many have pursued in the world but have not gained. The world cannot offer these because it is full of wickedness, greed, hate, deception, injustice and prejudice. The world takes more than it gives and does not give without strings attached. That is because the natural man is self-centered and wants to satisfy his desires at the expense of the needs and comfort of others. The effects have been brutal on many who have been left deeply wounded and traumatized. Some have as a result relapsed into grief, sorrow and depression, while other has turn back with anger, hate and vengeance. But it is obvious that none of these can truly satisfy the longing of the soul.

Jesus is the only one who can satisfy the inner longing of a man’s soul. He gives hope, love, peace and rest, and not as the world gives. He gives peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil 4:7). He gives life in its fullness (Jn 10:10). He spent his life on earth doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil (Acts 10:38). At the end of his earthly ministry, he offered his life freely as a sacrifice to redeem man from sin and secure his eternal salvation. He arose from death and ascended to Heaven where he sits at the right hand of God as our eternal Mediator, Intercessor and High Priest

Jesus is now calling: “Come to me. Lay your burdens on me and I will carry them. Cast your fears and tears on me and I will protect and comfort you. Trust and obey me and I will never leave or forsake you. Lean on me and I will carry you.” He is saying, “Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, Listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare (Is 55:2-NIV).

Accept him today as your Lord and Helper; call him into your situation, and you will experience his power to save and deliver you.

Pray: Lord, I put my hands in You hands; help me and lift me out of every pit where I have fallen; deliver me from every sorrow and pain that my soul may praise you while I live. Amen
