To read the texts click on the texts: Ex 3:13-20; Mt 11:28-30
Jesus invites all those who are burdened
to come to him for rest. The burden in this context seems to be that of the law
and its obligations. When Jesus invites the burdened to take his yoke, which is
easy, he is not inviting them to a life of ease, but to a deliverance from any
kind of artificiality or the blind following of rules and regulations. The
disciple must learn from Jesus who is in Matthew “the great teacher”. The rest that
Jesus offers is the rest of salvation.
We can get so caught up today with
wanting to have more that we might lose sight of the meaning of life itself.
The desire to acquire more and more and be regarded as successful based on what
we possess sometimes leads to missing out on so much that life has to offer.
