Lesson Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30
Bible Truth: Jesus performed healing miracles that led people to place their faith in Him.
Memory Verse: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)
First let me begin my commentary by wishing everyone a Happy, Blessed and Prosperous New Year! Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. __3 John 1:2
One of the most often broken resolutions created at the beginning of every year is the one to exercise more; lose weight, become healthy & get in shape. The beginning is very strong. You begin walking more, cutting back and working out at the local YMCA or gym. After a while you realize that Rome wasn’t built in one day. If you don’t pace yourself, you’ll burn out and become discouraged or even quit.
The same holds true when it comes to being saved. You began your Christian walk full of zeal for God, wanting to do everything your hands find to do but, without pacing yourself, you may soon become weary and discouraged.
Most often people comment to me that they just can’t do church. They feel that it’s too much pressure. The focus is often placed on people and not on God. Although we are to present our bodies a living sacrifice-holy and acceptable, we have to remember that it’s unto God-not man(Romans 12:1). Does the life I live please God? If not, why not?
In our lesson Jesus teaches about how not to be so tied up in keeping the law until we miss focus on the one who keeps our soul. If we take the yoke (the ways) of Him (Jesus) upon us, then He’ll give us rest. Not just physical rest but spiritual rest-for our souls, eternally. We don’t have to be caught up with doing church if we keep focused on God. Isaiah 26:3 says that God will keep us in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him; because we trust in Him.
So don’t be weary (tired, overwhelmed, or discouraged) in your walk with Christ. Jesus loves you and wants you to live an abundant and healthy life both now and forever. A steady pace wins the race.
Be blessed,
Evangelist Annetta Barnes
