God Spoke by His Son
Rest for the Weary
- The Father’s Good Pleasure
- The Son’s Good Pleasure
- Finding Rest in a New Yoke
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Matthew 11:20-30. Why does Jesus curse the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum? Why is this shocking?
- For what does Jesus praise God? Why might we not like hearing this truth?
- Consider verse 27. What role does Jesus play in our relationship with the Father? Why doesn’t every single human have the “right” to know the Father?
- Who are those who “labor and are heavy laden”? If you identify with this label, what does it look like for you?
- What is the rest Jesus promises? How does one receive rest from Jesus?
Memory Verse of the Week:
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (ESV)
