Come to Me, All Who Are Weary
July 5, 2026
Overview & Insights
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Jesus likens his generation to sulking children who rejected both John's fasting and his own feasting, then thanks the Father for revealing the kingdom to the humble. He invites the weary to take his gentle yoke and find rest.
