Matthew 11:28-30. "“28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 

Jesus promises that anyone who comes to him will have rest. If you've spent any time as a Christian, or if you're thinking about becoming one, the truth is that this promise does not always feel true, there are a couple of things we have to remember and embrace:

1. Trade, Not Remove - We are not removing our yoke entirely, but instead of our old yoke we are replacing it with a new one - one that is absolutely lighter because The Master has done all the heavy lifting.
2. Seek rests that lasts - Our frame for rest should not be on the superficial and limited but rather the desire for rest that will last forever. Anything else is less than what God wants for us.
