Come to Me
Matthew 11:25-30
Jesus said, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Two perspectives of weary and burdened:
1)
2)
things we lean on or are burdened by:

Jesus’ invitation “Come to me…”
Bill Withers - "Lean On Me" - listen to these words:
we lean on others but that is only as good as they are leaning on Jesus
ultimately - ultimately - it comes down to Jesus
Closing Prayer
Almighty, everlasting Lord. You told us to simply come to you. That’s harder for me than it sounds. It means I have to swallow some pride, admit my need, and to surrender to You. And yet, I desperately need some rest for my soul and spirit, so I’m coming to You this morning. As Pastor Randy prays over the burden that I’ve written down, I invite You in with rest, and healing, and help, and grace. Jesus, touch me this morning. Touch me and set me free. I surrender to You. Come in, Lord Jesus, and set me free and renew my soul. In Your Mighty Name, Amen.
