YOU ARE INVITED!

     Jesus  said  “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Since the early dawn of mankind’s history, when our Eden of bliss became a desert of discord, we have been creatures of restlessness.   When we are without of the peace that comes from God through the saving grace of Christ, we become fish out of water where social and interpersonal ills result in spiritual duress, thirst than death. 

The same ill fosters Divorce, alcoholism, substance abuse, and immorality which are direct results of the restlessness of sin. This diabolical unrest has permeated our nation like a contagious disease and has become the underlying cause of domestic, community, social problems, civil disturbance, and wars. The basic cause of our national immorality and trauma is spiritual distress in people’s lives today.  

 Psychologists, schooled in the intricate workings of the mind, are confessing that psychology is helpless to solve all of the mental and nervous disturbances of people today. Sociologists, trained in the interactions of society, are admitting that sociology cannot cope with the tremendous problems in human relationships. Political leaders point out the moral ills of America, but none of them seem to have an answer to the desperate need for a new moral integrity that would reverse the moral plunge that Americans are taking. Many political leaders privately admit that they are unable to cope with the seriousness of the moral dilemma. 

 One can sense unrest in almost every phase of our modern-day living. There is a monumental increase in violence amongst youth and adults then there were ever before. Ask Mayor Eric Adams or President Biden. This changeable, unsettled, insecure, roving, transient, sleepless and fidgety spirit is due primarily to the restlessness of the human heart and its separation from the Christ of tranquility and peace.

 You can only find spiritual peace and physical rest by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. The Bible says, in Isaiah 57:20 that "The wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt”. The book of Deuteronomy 28:67 informs of the mental and spiritual state of the world is that “In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!'” as one searches for stability in instability. 

  Many are held in the grip of insecurity; that include marginalized and intellectual people who have lost their way; strong people who live in fear of weakness and defeat. There is however the hand of Jesus Christ that awaits you and says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Why die of thirst when you stand upon the brink of a lake? Why starve to death when you are within arm’s length of the Living Bread? Why live in a hovel of spiritual misery when Christ has provided a mansion of divine peace?  

Hear and accept the divine invitation today: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and I will give you rest!” (Matthew 11:28-30)
