COME AND REST A WHILE

Jesus many years ago told His disciples to come apart and rest a while. Today His words still echoes across the centuries down to us today. Jesus invites us to come apart and rest a while. What exactly does it mean to come apart and rest a while? Simply put it means to come to Jesus and place your burdens at His feet. In short it means resting from sin and all its manifestations: alcoholism, porn, prostitution, drugs, marital problems, you name it. It means getting the burden of sin lifted off your shoulders. Sin is the greatest burden mankind has to bear, but why bear it when we have the great Burden Bearer Jesus Christ. Resting in Jesus is the best rest that a person can experience. It encompasses both physical and mental rest. There remaineth a rest for the people of God. This 'rest' is a putting away of sin and the putting on of Jesus and His righteousness. So today on the Sabbath day of rest why not come apart and rest in Jesus? It's the greatest rest a person can enjoy. So rest in Jesus. I am!
