Come Unto Me and Rest

POOR, frail human beings all need rest. Sin has made us all very tired. We tire physically and spiritually. Our follies lead us to such excesses that we all become abnormally tired. Few take the rest they might enjoy, the physical rest which an indulgent providence has provided for even the persistent sinner. We are in an age of intensity; men are rushing on in quest of the perishing things of earth. They press on at such an unnatural rate that they are too tired to enjoy the little measure of success which they do gain. How much better to heed the invitation of the Saviour, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. . . . For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light"!
