How does one come to Jesus? When our lives are burdened with the work of life, and the many problems that weigh heavy on our shoulders, how do we bring them to Jesus? First and foremost is the burden of sin, that places the weight of guilt on our hearts. We come to Jesus as Savior, by repenting of our sin, and trusting Jesus to cleanse us of our sins, by His blood that He shed for us. At Baptism, we place ourselves in the hands of Jesus, as we die to the old sinful person, and we rise up to walk in new life with Him (Romans 6:4) For the burdens of this life, we allow Jesus to be Lord, as we take on His yoke, in our lives. Jesus said that when we take on His yoke, we will learn from Him. His Word will teach us in a gentle and humble way, instead of the harsh realities the world dishes out. Through the Study of the Word, and constant prayer, we will receive the insight to make right decisions that will free us from making mistakes that will burden us all of our lives. Yes, it is work to take on the yoke of Jesus. But it is less of a weight, than what the world places on us, when we sin, and when we step ahead of the Lord's guidance, and reap the consequences of choices made by our own thoughts and reasoning's. Do you want rest for your soul? It can happen, if only you will do what Jesus softly calls you to do. And that is humbly, and sincerely "Come to Me!" GP
