Then Jesus said, “Come to
me, all of you who are weary
and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take
my yoke upon you.
Let me teach you,
because I am humble and gentle at heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy to bear,
and the
burden I give you is light.”
Matt
11:28-30 (NLT)
Here we are on vacation, resting on the beach at beautiful Crystal Cove, thinking about the rest and freedom God has for us.
Jesus came to set us free. What do we need to be set free from? The Bible tells us that we are slaves of sin. The tendencies of our human nature bring us down, tie us up, making things unpleasant and unhappy.

These are the heavy burdens that we bear, the things that we struggle with all of our lives. All of our problems stem from our tendencies toward pride, arrogance, self-centeredness which give rise to fears, resentments, quarrels and fights.
