The Greatest Invitation
Matthew 11:28-30
I: “Come.” From whom:
1. God’s son.
2. Future King and Lord of all.
3. Ruler of the Universe.
4. Man’s Creator.
5. One who loved us enough to die for us.
II: “All.” To whom:
1. Not a selected few.
2. Red, yellow, black, and white.
3. Wise and unwise, rich and poor.
4. “Those weary to the point of exhaustion.”
5. Those loaded with burdens, bending beneath their weight.
III: “I alone.” None other can do this.
1. He alone can lift our burden, (a burden of sin, grief, and sickness).
2. The World can’t lift these burdens from our shoulders.
3. “Refresh you with rest.”
IV: “Take my Yoke.” (The Roman yoke).
1. Wear no longer the hoke of the world.
2. No yoke, no crown; no yoke, no peace.
3. Yoke: “Learn of me.” meekness, lowly heart.
4. “My yoke is mild and pleasant,” (Compare with those that wear Satans yoke).\
5. “My load is light in weight.”
6. “Find cessation from labor.”
