11
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>together from Joshua chapter one, The Best eight. This book

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

16
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>and then I will have good success A man beloved.

17
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>The topic for this episode is a Rest for the

18
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Weary Soul Part two. Rest for the Weary Soul Part two,

19
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>or take our scripture reading from Matthew chapter eleven, The

20
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Best Twined eight to thirty. Come to me, all you

21
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>who labor and a heavy leaden, and I will give

22
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

23
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>for I am gentle and lonely in heart. And you

24
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>will find a rest for your souls. For my yoke

25
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is easy and my bed is light, a man rest

26
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>for the weary soul. Part two. In the previous episode

27
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and Lessen, we lend about the invitation of Jesus. Come

28
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>to me and I will give you a rest. We

29
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>lend about the weariness of the soul and how it

30
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>affects our mind, hearts, and emotions. Today's listen, we'll focus

31
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on what happens when we respond to that call and

32
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>invitation to come for rest in Jesus. Believe that Jesus

33
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>does not only invite us to come onto him, he

34
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 1>also shows us how to find rest. From our scripture reading,

35
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Jesus firstly says, take ma yuke upon you. This reveals

36
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>that a rest comes through surrender. To take his yoke

37
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>means to come under his leadership and to become a disciple,

38
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to surrender control of our lives to him. This is

39
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>where many of us struggle. We want relief, but we

40
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>still want to have control. We want God to help us,

41
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>but we hesitate to fully trust Him with all our plans,

42
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>our fears, or decisions. True rest cannot coexist with divided control, Beloved,

43
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>When we hold on tightly to our own way, we

44
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>carry on necessary burdens. But when surrender fully, something begins

45
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to change and the weight begins to lift again. Jesus said,

46
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>learned from me. By saying this, Jesus is teaching that

47
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>rest is not just an experience, it is a lifestyle.

48
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Lend from Jesus. Consider his life on death. He was

49
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the busiest person alive. He was constantly busy, ministering to

50
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the crowds, healing the sick, teaching, traveling from one place

51
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to another, facing opposition. Yet he was never overwhelmed. Why

52
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 1>because he lived in perfect alignment with his father God.

53
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Jesus was not driven by pressure, He was not controlled

54
00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>by people's expectition. He moved with purpose, peace and in direction.

55
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>When we learn from Jesus, we begin to live differently.

56
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>We cease to please everyone, and in that, Beloved, our

57
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>soul finds rest through peace. Then Jesus says again, for

58
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I am gentle and lonely in heart, this is a

59
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>comforting truth. Jesus is not harsh with the wary. He

60
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>does not condemn those who struggle. He is ever compassionate,

61
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>patient and kind. He is strong enough to carry the

62
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 1>beddings and still tender enough to understand our pain. We

63
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>see this throughout his life. He calmed the fearful disciples

64
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>in the storm. He gently corrected and comforted Martha. He

65
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>offered hope and dignity to the Samaritan woman. Everywhere he

66
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 1>went he met people in their brookenness and gave them rest.

67
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>And this same is true today. We can come to

68
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Jesus exactly as we are tired, confused, deadened, and we

69
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>will not be rejected. We will be received. Beloved, Jesus

70
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 1>is the one who gives this promise that we will

71
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 1>find rest for our souls. This is not a temporary relief,

72
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 1>This is deep, lasting rest. True rest is not found

73
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 1>in escaping lives problems. It is found in exchanging burdens.

74
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>You bring your wariness, He gives you his peace. You

75
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 1>bring your anxiety. He gives you his assurances. You bring

76
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>your weaknesses. He gives you his strength. Beloved, whatever is

77
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>weighing on your soul today, Jesus, the saying, come to me,

78
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Come with everything, hold nothing back. Trust him completely, because

79
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 1>the one who invites you to come is also the

80
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>one who will carry you, and in him, your weary

81
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>soul will finally find rest. In Jesus, name a man.

82
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's take our memory verse for the Morning from Matthew

83
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>chapter eleven, the verse twenty eight. Come to me, all

84
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 1>you who labor and are heavy leading, and I will

85
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>give you rest. Come to me, all you who labor

86
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>and a heavy leaden, and I will give you rest

87
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a man. Let's pray further. We thank you for this

88
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>word in season. We thank you for this invitation of rest.

89
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>As we come, just as we are. Let there be

90
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>an exchange. Let there be true rest that will last

91
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 1>forever in Jesus. Ning Amen. God. Bless you for connecting
