Overview & Insights
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Jesus praises the Father for revealing the kingdom to the childlike rather than the wise, and declares that the Father and the Son know each other fully. He invites the weary to come to him for rest, promising that his yoke is easy and his burden light.
