Rest for Your Soul - Matthew 11:28–30

By , About.com Guide

Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse:

Matthew 11:28–30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Rest for Your Soul

Do you need a vacation from the heavy burden of sin that you've been carrying? Do you need to rest? Jesus promises that when we submit ourselves to his yoke—when we surrender our lives to him and take on his new life—we will find a refreshing rest for our souls.

The Lord offers us a trade. As we take on his yoke, which is easy and light, Jesus lifts our burden by carrying upon himself the load of our sin.
