EVERYONE IS WELCOME!​

Matthew 11:28 – Devotional

Matthew 11:28

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”

At this time of year many invitations are given. Some of them are restricted to employees or family members. In order to respond to the invitation you must in some way be related to the one giving the invitation. Some invitations come with an RSVP that requires a response of your intention to accept or decline.

There are other invitations that may be described as open invitations. Congregations often have Christmas programs that are announced as “Every One Is Welcome!”

Today’s Scripture an invitation is extended directly from Jesus. In a way it is an open invitation. I think each of us have gone through, or are right now going through a time of labor and being heavy laden. We are invited to join Him by taking His yoke upon us. It may seem like we are adding more load, but it is Jesus who will be bearing the burden that we are now carrying alone.

The Lord’s promise is that we will find rest for our souls. In the midst of the pressures of life, we vitally need rest for our souls. We will find it in accepting His open invitation.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
