In the shadow of our
Lord Jesus's wings; all believers receive security and eternal protection.
The Lord Jesus Christ's faithfulness is our shield
and buckler. Praise God! All believers, in Christ Jesus's ways, have laid their
burdens
at the sovereign Lord's feet. All believers are eternally resting in the Lord Jesus Christ
of
Nazareth. Jesus Promises Rest For the Soul
Matthew 11:20-30
"Then Jesus began to denounce the towns where he had
done so many of his miracles because they hadn't repented of their
sins
and turned to God. "What sorrow awaits you, Korazin and Bethsaida!
For
if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and
Sidon,
their people would have repented of their sins long ago, clothing
themselves in
burlap and throwing ashes on their heads to show their remorse.
I tell you, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on judgment day
than you.
And you people of Capurnam, will you be honored in heaven?
No, you will go down to the place of the dead. For if the miracles
I did for you
had been done in wicked Sodom, it would still be here today.
I tell you, even Sodom
will be better off on judgment day than you."
At that time Jesus prayed this prayer. 'Oh Father, Lord of heaven
and earth,
thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves
wise and
clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes Father, it
pleased you to do it
this way!'
My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the
Son
except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the
Son and those
to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Then Jesus said, 'Come to me all of you who are weary and carry
heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and
gentle
at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'"
Resting in the Lord Jesus Christ is Father God's salvation plan.
Hallelujah!
