LIGHT Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Come to me
John 7:37-38 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

I will give you rest
Exodus 33:14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me
John 13:15 "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."
Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: ...
1 Peter 2:21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

you will find rest for your souls
Psalm 116:7 Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'"

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
1 John 5:3-4 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
