The whole thing is focused toward comfort and then you hear some conservative pastors today say all this talk about Jesus' gentle and lowly and comfort. But that's kind of a womanish theology don't you think? You need a Christic manhood. And the thing is you know Jesus shows us what a non therapeutic view of comfort really is when he says look your problem is not you're not having your best life now. Your problem isn't that you don't have peace of mind. Your problem is you have objective enmity with God in your neighbor. In fact by nature I hate God in my neighbor. It's getting right to the heart of the issue only, only objective guilt
As Christians, we often struggle to view God as one who wants to meet us with words of comfort and good news. But understanding God’s heart towards sinners is not just a therapeutic exercise, it’s our only hope in the midst of our spiritual fatigue. In this episode, White Horse Inn hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller discuss the first of the Comfortable Words, Matthew 11:28, exposing our weariness and longing while exploring the rest that Christ offers.
