Jesus Christ Is All in Allنموونە

Jesus invites all people to find rest in Him

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Jesus lived about 2,000 years ago in the country of Israel. He was a Jew, trained as a carpenter. But none of these limits the scope of His salvation work. He invites every single human to come to Him to find rest for their souls. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul stresses: It doesn’t matter which country or culture you are from, what your social or economic position is, or whether you are male or female. Everyone can be a follower of Jesus Christ!

Stuart Townend composed a great song about this theme. Let me quote part of the lyrics here:

“Come all you questioners
Looking for answers,
And searching for reasons
And sense in it all;
Come all you fallen,
And come all you broken,
Find strength for your body
And food for your soul.

Come all believers
And dreamers and schemers,
And come all you restless
Just searching for home;
Movers and shakers
And givers and takers,
The happy, the sad
And the lost and alone.”

All these people — and those not mentioned here — are invited by Jesus Christ to turn to Him, have their sins forgiven and their relationship with God restored. Do you accept this invitation, not just once but every day of your life?
