Is it Time for a Rest?

Perhaps in your weariness God has drawn you to learn of Jesus through Whom you will find rest for your soul (Matthew 10: 28, 29).  Does this song "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North speak to your condition?

Praying for You

In hopes that you are drawn closer to the Lord and His word, I pray the words of a prayer found in a sermon called "The Bible and the Believer" by the late Peter J. Gomes in his book entitled Sermons: Biblical Wisdom for Daily Living:

"Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning: grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy word we may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ."  Amen.

Are You Offended by Jesus?

If man is offended because of Jesus, it is because the man has not come to the realization of how essential Jesus is to life.  The offended man views Jesus as being in the way instead of being 'the way.'  It is through trying the Word of God that man comes to know how good the Lord is (Psalms 34:8).  How can man be offended by goodness? How can man be offended by Jesus?

True life begins when man lets go of his own plans to follow Jesus without offense.  "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in [Jesus]" (Matthew 11:6).
