MATTHEW 11:28-30 (MSG)“ARE YOU TIRED? WORN OUT? BURNED OUT ON RELIGION? COME TO ME. GET AWAY WITH ME AND YOU’LL RECOVER YOUR LIFE. I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO TAKE A REAL REST. WALK WITH ME AND WORK WITH ME—WATCH HOW I DO IT. LEARN THE UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE. I WON’T LAY ANYTHING HEAVY OR ILL-FITTING ON YOU. KEEP COMPANY WITH ME AND YOU’LL LEARN TO LIVE FREELY AND LIGHTLY.”

REAL REST

LUKE 10:38-42 (MSG)38-40 AS THEY CONTINUED THEIR TRAVEL, JESUS ENTERED A VILLAGE. A WOMAN BY THE NAME OF MARTHA WELCOMED HIM AND MADE HIM FEEL QUITE AT HOME. SHE HAD A SISTER, MARY, WHO SAT BEFORE THE MASTER, HANGING ON EVERY WORD HE SAID. BUT MARTHA WAS PULLED AWAY BY ALL SHE HAD TO DO IN THE KITCHEN.

LUKE 10:38-42 (MSG)LATER, SHE STEPPED IN, INTERRUPTING THEM. “MASTER, DON’T YOU CARE THAT MY SISTER HAS ABANDONED THE KITCHEN TO ME? TELL HER TO LEND ME A HAND.” 41-42 THE MASTER SAID, “MARTHA, DEAR MARTHA, YOU’RE FUSSING FAR TOO MUCH AND GETTING YOURSELF WORKED UP OVER NOTHING. ONE THING ONLY IS ESSENTIAL, AND MARY HAS CHOSEN IT—IT’S THE MAIN COURSE, AND WON’T BE TAKEN FROM HER.”

JOHN 14:27 (NKJV)PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU; NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES DO I GIVE TO YOU. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID.

ROMANS 8:3-4 (NLT)3 THE LAW OF MOSES WAS UNABLE TO SAVE US BECAUSE OF THE WEAKNESS OF OUR SINFUL NATURE. SO GOD DID WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO. HE SENT HIS OWN SON IN A BODY LIKE THE BODIES WE SINNERS HAVE. AND IN THAT BODY GOD DECLARED AN END TO SIN’S CONTROL OVER US BY GIVING HIS SON AS A SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS.

ROMANS 8:3-4 (NLT)4 HE DID THIS SO THAT THE JUST REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW WOULD BE FULLY SATISFIED FOR US, WHO NO LONGER FOLLOW OUR SINFUL NATURE BUT INSTEAD FOLLOW THE SPIRIT.

PSALM 85:10 (NLT)UNFAILING LOVE AND TRUTH HAVE MET TOGETHER. RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE HAVE KISSED!
