28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28–30, RSV2CE)
All of us are tired and beaten down by the world, flesh, and devil. We need rest. I can come to Jesus. He wants to give me rest. I am to cling to him. I am to learn from him. He is gentle with sinners who are ravaged by sin. My soul can rest in Him because he covers sin and teaches me how to deal with it in his power. His yoke is easy because he teaches me what to do. His yoke is light because he empowers me from inside to fight sin. I can have soul rest in him because my sin is wiped out of his presence and I am being strengthened to fight it when it comes by his own power within me.
