Overview & Insights
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Jesus praises the Father for revealing the kingdom to the childlike rather than to the wise and learned. He then invites the weary to take up his yoke, describing himself as gentle and humble in heart and promising rest to all who come to him.
