We are all familiar with the privilege of both extending and receiving invitations to events like birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduation parties, and retirements. But in Matthew 11, we encounter the greatest invitation of all to receive: Jesus’ offer to “all who labor and are heavy laden” to come to Him, take His yoke, learn from Him, and find true rest for their souls.
In this short series, Alistair Begg examines Jesus’ fourfold invitation one verb at a time, considering its timeless, personal, universal appeal, the obligation it entails, and the blessings it promises. In a world marked by the restlessness of the human condition, can following after Christ really lead to a meaningful rest that lasts? Jesus’ own words provide the life-transforming answer.
