Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Application: 

If life is weighing you down—if the burden you’re carrying is too much to bear—come to Jesus. Why? Because only he can give you rest. Here is the invitation to salvation. To rest is to place your burdens in God’s hands and to enjoy his provision of forgiveness and eternal life.

Jesus then says, “Take up my yoke and learn from me.” Once you’ve come to Jesus, he invites you to be yoked to him as a disciple. A yoke is a wooden bar harnessed to the necks of a pair of oxen to bring them under submission and enable them to do the work the farmer has for them. To train younger oxen, farmers would yoke them to older, experienced oxen. This provided maturation and development.

Hooking onto Jesus’s “yoke” enables you to learn how to live. Therein you will find rest. When you come to Jesus, he gives you rest for your salvation. When you accept the yoke of discipleship, you find rest and experience it in your daily life.
