THE REST JESUS GIVES

KO E MALOLO ‘OKU FOAKI ‘E SISUU

MATTHEW 11:28

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

MATIU 11:28

Ha‘u kiate au, ‘a kimoutolu kotoa pē ‘oku fakaongosia mo mafasia, pea te u fakamālōlō kimoutolu.

 

Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe    

Let us yield ourselves wholly to the Great Burden-Bearer, who says, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." Possessing this rest, all our faculties will be centred and focused upon one object, and with undivided hearts we shall seek God's glory. When I first began to teach in a Sunday school, I was speaking one day upon the words, "He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life." I was rather taken by surprise when one of the boys said to me, "Teacher, have you got everlasting life?" I replied, "I hope so." The scholar was not satisfied with my answer, so he asked another question, "But, teacher, don't - you know?"

The boy was right; there can be no true testimony except that which springs from assured conviction of our own safety and joy in the Lord. We speak that we do know; we believe, and therefore speak. Rest of heart, through coming to Christ, enables us to invite others to Him with great confidence, for we can tell them what heavenly peace He has given to us.
