Rest for the weary

Read Matthew 11:28–30

Jesus invites the weary to come to Him, take His yoke, and learn from Him. His rest includes being taught by a gentle and lowly Lord. This is more than a pause in activity: it is an invitation to discipleship under One whose character is different from crushing masters.
