Matthew 11:28-30<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Foyer of John Hopkins University, facing the entrance, stands a marble statue of Jesus. It portrays him leaning forward, arms outstretched as though he were reaching for some wounded, staggering suffer. On the base of the statue is Matthew 11:28-30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I: The Divine Invitation to Rest:<\/strong>
\n1. “I know people that are tired of sickness and pain.” Dr. Dodd
\n2. Our world is sick and weary.
\n3. Habits that enslave.
\n4. We all need Spiritual rest from the burdens of life. “My burden is heavier than I can bear.” (The young woman that was afraid to live in Grover City).<\/p>\n

II: “There are required courses in the school of Life.”<\/strong>
\n1. We have to live! No choice of arrival, no way of escape.
\n2. Death is a required course. Fight as we may, death is a must! Erik and Elijah meets Paul. Paul thought of it as a day of promotion. (Dr. Matthews).
\n3. The Judgment Bar of God is required. Heb. 9:7
\n4. These are the required courses we must take and how we apply ourselves to these determines our own happiness and rest.<\/p>\n

III: There are Electives in the School of Life.<\/strong>
\n1. The field here is broad.
\n2. Jesus said that many choose the Broadway.
\n3. Jesus said we could choose our way of life. We are not forced thru either the narrow or broad gate of Life. Matthew 7:13
\n(Build above Kirby Mezzo, the snake life). Russell Conwell
\n4. We must choose or reject Jesus.
\n5. We must bear the results of a life of sin or accept the pardon purchased at Calvary. (John Maynard’s copy book).
\n6. Our destination is elective. — Pepper Martin “Above everything else in the World I want to go to Heaven.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
