Gospel Truth in Matthew 11 (Nov 3)

Come & Receive God’s Rest

Jesus came to earth to begin his
kingdom. Matthew focuses on 10
miracles in Mt8&9 demonstrating
Jesus’ power over disease, the
forces of nature & the spirit world.
Christ then bestows that same
power & authority on His chosen
apostles and sends them out
as ambassadors of the kingdom.
He first instructs them how to
act, then warns them of the
dangers they will face, as He calls
them to committed discipleship.

Lord, we’ll come to You for Rest:
Jesus said: I praise You Father

& revealed them to Little Children.
(Matthew 11:25)… COME to me,

carry heavy burdens, and I’ll give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you.

I give you is light (Matt 11:28-30).
