The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

If I understand this correctly Christ taught here the alarming doctrine that the desire for honor among men made belief impossible.

God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.

We wonder why we don't have faith; the answer is, faith is confidence in the character of God and if we don't know what kind of God God is, we can't have faith.

Whenever you see confusion, you can be sure that something is wrong. Disorder in the world implies that something is out of place. Usually, at the heart of all disorder you will find man in rebellion against God. It began in the Garden of Eden and continues to this day.

If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.
