This week’s preach is based on Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus describes himself, ‘I am gentle and lowly in heart.’ This is the title phrase of the book we are using as background reading: Gentle and Lowly. These qualities are not just emotional they come from the center of Jesus being and describe what motivates him in all he says and does. He is full of grace and love towards his people, but that doesn’t make him weak or compromised, he is full of truth and speaks up for justice too.
He calls us today, especially if we are weary and heavy laden, saying come to me, come as you are, take my yoke upon you and learn from me. Then we will find real rest for our souls which we so desperately need.
