Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
1. Come with your burdens: There are different kinds
of burdens.
The human race is burdened with many evil things. Sin is
a burden that people carry throughout their lives. Financial
burdens, burdens of sickness, academic burdens and other
troubles are also borne by human beings.
You may think this scripture does not apply to you because
you are not carrying a big bag or burden. However, the burdens
that Jesus is talking about are the burdens of your sins; the
burden of your sicknesses; the burden of your worries and the
burdens of your fears.
2. Come with your burdens: Your sins are a burden
because they are attracting God’s anger, which is
causing sickness and disease in your life.
There is NO SOUNDNESS IN MY FLESH BECAUSE
OF THINE ANGER; neither is there any rest in my bones
because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over
mine head: as an HEAVY BURDEN they are too heavy
for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my
foolishness.
Psalm 38:3-5
3. Come with your burdens: Your sin is a burden because
it opens the door to demons. It gives a place to the
devil to come to your life.
Neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:27
4. Come with your burdens: Your sin is a burden because
the anger and the fury of God are directed towards
you.
O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee,
let THINE ANGER AND THY FURY be turned away
from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: BECAUSE
FOR OUR SINS, and for the iniquities of our fathers,
Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that
are about us.
Daniel 9:16
5. Come with your burdens: Your sins are a burden
because they are filling your life with grief. Even your
strength is failing because of your sins.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:
my strength faileth BECAUSE OF MINE INIQUITY, and
my bones are consumed.
Psalms 31:10
6. Come with your burdens: Your sins are a burden to
you because you do not have any rest and you do not
have any peace. Because of your sins, your life is like
a troubled sea.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot
rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace,
saith my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah 57:20-21
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the
truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth
evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Romans 2:8-9
7. Come with your burdens: Your sins are a burden
because you know that one day you will reap what
you have sown.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth
to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that
soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6:7-8
8. Come with your burdens: Your sins are a burden
because you know that the Day of Judgment is coming.
The day of reckoning and the day of accountability
will soon be upon all of us.
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up
unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation
of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to
every man according to his deeds:
Romans 2:5-6
9. Come with your burdens: Leave your burdens at the
cross of Christ. Through the blood of Jesus you will
be set free from the burden of your sins.
This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for
many for forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26:28 (NASB)
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth
not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Psalm 32:1-2
