Come Unto Me...
Intro:
The Lord Jesus is correcting the pharisee’s in the previous verses…AGAIN...
This correction is over all the burdensome weight they are placing on people to develop a relationship with God...
The problem is, that religion is not the answer for relationship...
Religion - that is undefiled is:
Visit the fatherless and widow’s in their affliction
Keep yourself unspotted - holiness
It is not about all of the burdens that - the weights that rules and regulations put on you...
So many miss this aspect of the christian life - they get confused when they look at the expectations God places upon us and the grace that he offers to us...
so this Christian life is not one that there are no obligations - There are obligations and responsibilities that we have toward the Savior - but it is not to EARN OR MERIT HIS LOVE -
That is what the Pharisee’s were doing - it was all about the doing - not about the relationship
But the Lord’s expectations of holiness and service are to be done out of a thankful heart for what HE has done for us....
So tonight - we are going to look at the phrase - vs 28 is our text...
Come Unto Me...
In our text, I want us to see some key words -
we could look at them all 1 by 1 - but we will not be able to finish them - stewardship month get’s started this next week - and we will spend the month of January looking at stewardship....
1. Come
Right person - to Christ
Relationhsip not Religion
Right people -
Open invitation - the invitation is always open.... PTL
Religious - religious but lost
mt11.2
great weight has been placed upon them - and there is nothing gained by it...
rules / regulations / no relationship
Regenerate - the saved
If you are saved tonight - don’t get sidetracked by the activity of Christianity and miss CHRIST....
The greatest part of salvation is not what we are missing - Hell … the greatest part of salvation is who we gained… God… God the Father - God the Son - God the Holy Ghost...
2. Take
Yoke - burden sharing instrument
My Yoke.... CHRIST’S YOKE...
Not our yoke...
3. Learn
Learn of me...
I am:
meek
lowly in heart
I am not:
a hard task master
unloving
uncaring
selfish
when we learn of Him - all that he asks is desirable to do...
4. Find
Ye shall find....Rest -
Service-
When we are in the right yoke -
Selfish
a
Spiritual service for the Savior…
Our Soul -will find REST...
Soul- inner self -
satisfying
But when the activity is all duty based… we get burned out - we don’t find rest in our service -
Why? our....
Service- becomes...
Selfish
If His YOKE IS EASY....
IF His BURDEN is LIGHT...
Why do people burn out???
It comes back to:
“Come unto me...”
They fail to come to Christ -
They come to:
Church
Christianity
Programs / policies / procedures
Rules / regulations...
But they don’t COME UNTO ME…
The Lord calls for a relationship that will result in REST...
Rest
Renewal
Refreshment
“Come Unto Me...”
