Sixth Sunday after Pentecost

Matthew 11:28-30

28 “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. 30 For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.”
______________________

What does it mean when people say, "I'm tired"? Probably they mean physical exhaustion. But tiredness could also mean being in a state of restlessness and despair perhaps because they are emotional and spiritually tired. People who are tired lack the energy and enthusiasm to perform certain tasks. Therefore, they need to rest and be refreshed.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus invites people to come to him to find rest. Who are these people that needed rest? Why do they need to rest? Then Jesus tells them, "Take my yoke and put it on you..." This is not a picture of rest but of labor. What's going on here?

Apparently, Jesus is not promising an absolute stopage from work or productivity. Rather, he is telling people that if we follow him and learn from him, everything will feel lighter, easier, and more enjoyable because we are working for someone who is humble, and gentle, and someone who genuinely cares for his people.

Join us this Sunday and let us continue to ponder on these words.

Lord Jesus, I am restless and tired.
I am overwhelmed by anxiety and fear.
My shoulders are heavy with loads of care.
Would you help me carry them?
Lord Jesus, I long for your yoke that is easy and light.
Help me experience your humility and gentleness.
Teach me to surrender to you all my burdens in life.
Grant me the faith to trust your promises to give me respite.

Our service starts at 1:30pm.

See you there!!!
