Matthew 11:25-30
25 At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
We have reached Memorial Day Weekend. When others carried the heavy cost of freedom.
Genesis 2:2-3
2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
Even in the Old Testament, God has marked the Seasons with Festivities. And in the New Testament - Jesus and His Brothers wrangled. The Scriptures give us perfectly the guide to Life. Abundant Life.
Why would God tell us the work of the planned path is light? Why would He say the yoke is easy? Because compared to His - this is true. Because when we Believe God and His Promises - the need for wrath is taken away with the Gift of Jesus and His Life. We live the gift of Liberty from brave troops - individual men, who gave their lives for us. For men who lived and gave incredible service to us and our Nation. We Live the Gift of the Law of Liberty from Jesus.
God is for us. He tells us even Rest is Sanctified.
And planning, in advance, Rest is wonderful too.
Thank You, Father God. For what is given to us as a Merciful Gift.
In Jesus Christ. Amen.
