Come to
me, you who are weak and heavily burdenend.
What
joy these words of Jesus bring to our souls, especially when we are going
through difficult times. "Come to me," Jesus says, especially when
you are world-weary, anxious or heavily-burdened. "Come to me,"
Jesus says, and find the peace that this world cannot bring.
Jesus knows the
difficulties that we face in this life, and He stands ready to help us to bear
these difficult crosses. When we turn to Him in our times of trial we find
that the Lord keeps His promises, and that He never leaves His faithful ones
disappointed.
Zechariah 9:9-10
- The Savior will triumph by humility.
Our
saving king will bring us peace not with weapons and power but by his humility.
Romans 8:9, 11-13 -
Let
Christ's Spirit live in you.
According
to St Paul, the Spirit of Christ must live in our hearts.
This Spirit will raise us up to eternal life.
Matthew 11:25-30 -
I am gentle and humble of heart.
God
gives himself not to the self-sufficient but to the humble, for they are open to
God.
Christ will free them from burdens
invented by people and teach them to carry the easy burden of loving service.
