The Spirit of God is pleading with them to seek for those things that alone can give peace and rest–the grace of Christ, the joy of holiness.

A Resting Place.
I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad, I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad.
Lyrics from the hymn I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Come to Me.
Do you feel burdened and weighed down today with the cares of life? Give your burdens, trials, and cares to Jesus. We can find true rest and peace only in Christ!
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 (NKJV)
Peace, Be Still.
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:39 (NKJV)
I Will Give You Rest.
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
— Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) —
Beneath the Cross of Jesus.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day
One of our favorite Christian music groups is Glad. Glad is known for their acapella singing and their amazing musical harmonies. The music video below is Glad’s medley of Beneath the Cross of Jesus; Man of Sorrows, What a Name; and We Will Glorify. As you listen to this beautiful music, we invite you to ponder Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross and the gift of eternal life that He offers to all who accept Him.
