Discuss Matthew 11 Page 12

The bible is stating clearly that for we who have heaving laden we should seek for His rest so let me ask this question those who have been seeking rest from witchdoctor socceror do they know that God is the only one whom we are surpose to approach or they still believe on wordly false teaching

I so much love this passage. The bible is making us to understand that Jesus is the only solution to our problems and difficulties in life. Just come to Him just as you are, and He will carry the loads for you. He loves you, no matter how dirty you are and is free.

Hello Gurjit Singh. This scripture is literally meaning what is written. John the Baptist was in prison and Jesus told the disciples to go and tell John what they had seen Jesus do and perform. This has nothing to do with souls. There are some scriptures in the Bible that are not left up for interpretation. They simply mean what they are saying and how they are written.

Christ was baptized by Saint John.He find the inner peace and achivement of God with kindness of his prophet master St. Johan.The master for a follower is above everything in the world.So he is saying in the glory of his master that no one is born on the earth greater than John.Then he is saying about the value of humbleness and meekness.Least mean of lowest ego or egoless or feeling himself as least of all the man made by God.No one is greater than John in kingdom of heaven.But christ is saying this to appreciate us for being humble and reduce ego which make the way for going to God easy.

It is all about souls.The blind souls are those who do not try see divine light and God inside body.Lame are those souls who have become so weak under the burden of worldly pressure and mind affect on them so they never try to walk toward spiritual success.The sins,bad deed,bad thoughts,ego,lust for sex etc.make the souls equal to lepers.Deaf are those souls who never try to listen the divine melody or sound inside the body.Dead is called to those souls who have no inclination toward God.Poor souls are those who have lost their original wealth,the living with God in heaven.These souls will achieve strength of seeing God,lame will get power for movement toward spiritual success,the lepers soul will become holy soul,deaf souls will become listening soul for current sound,dead souls will wake toward their destination and poor soul will get company of God with having gospels of christ followers as their life gems.

The only way you can have rest from sins, struggles and from all forms of sickness of life is to come to Him JESUS CHRIST.

Of ALL born of women from the beginning until that his own time none is greater than John the Baptist and the reason for that is because John the Baptist was 1. sent to prepare the way of the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST Matthew 11 10 which no other man or woman was commissioned to do that because ' '...all the prophets and law prophesied... ' 'about Christ coming ' '...until John ' ' Matthew 11 13 came to prepare the way. 2. He was MORE THAN A PROPHET Matthew 11 9 . BUT HE that is LEAST IN THE KINGDOM that is the christian who has been converted lastly in to the kingdom of God is greater than him. It then means that all converted christians are greater than him.

Indeed he is He jesus who is above all and his children,we all seek him for he is above all

The words of Jesus have the power to create something beautifully new. Jesus is the king of peace His love is enough. Come all with whatever sickness with His stripes we are HEALED . Amen..

How I wasted many years trying to do for my own life..Trying to stay above lifes never ending struggles that nearly drowned me...When ALL I had to do was just call on my Jesus to help me ! What glorious peace I have, I have now that He saved me from myself.Amen !

This is a clarion call to ALL, God is calling all to repentance, He is calling all out of struggles and weariness. There is an important part of this calling which is telling us to take a bold step after knowing or believing we have issues that require assistance. Come He says. Are you ready to come to him.

In the natural a stronger ox is yorked to a stronger one, in the spiritual JESUS is the stronger one, we are to submit to HIS authority, HIS Lordship, that is when we will learn that HE has provided all things that we will ever need for life and godliness, ie my prosperity, health, joy, all we are needed to do is by faith enter HIS finished work, that is the rest GOD has called us to, halleluya.

I found in reading mattthew 11 29,that when we won 't submit to Jesus we become bitter and disrespectful to each other, and fall back in the state which he had delivered us from.at least I think some of us were delivered we forget that our walk is for others to see and here Christ and want who we represents.to be yoked with Christ is peace,love,joy,humility,hope.endure the sufferings of this world.

The yoke of God is God 's best for me. When I take His yoke upon me I do find rest for my soul. To my understanding there is sometimes two beasts of cattle with a yoke on them to do the job that the farmer has to do . One beast cannot do it without the other. God does not call us in His service to do His work alone. He is there along beside us to help. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. It is a Joy to serve the Lord. Praise God !!!!

verse 12 has been misunderstood and used in the wrong context. .........the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force. This does not advocate violence. There is a distinct difference between the violent and the kingdom of GOD. First let me remind you. JESUS SAYS come unto me all ye that labour and a heavy burden. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. No mention of the kingdom Jesus being violent. ....turn the other cheek. This is what it means we are to Listen for GOD, LISTEN FOR THE HOLY GHOST the comforter, lead and guide us to all truth, teach all things of GOD. THE VIOLENT is not of the kingdom of GOD. POWER IS OF THE HOLY GHOST YE WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY GHOST COME UPON YOU. Therefore through pray we overcome the violent. How shall we preach the GOD news of the gospel unless we have good news. JESUS IS RISEN HE DEFEATED DEATH AND SIN, DISEASE. He says with JESUS IN ME AND ME IN JESUS I CAN ASK WHAT I WILL. A violent situation doesn 't always come with salvation. GOD TELLS ABOUT MANY SITUATIONS OF violence and give instructions how not to be involved in them or either how to get away from them. I says come out from among them and be thee seperate. The kingdom of GOD IS NOT OF VIOLENCE. The Word of GOD SAYS FIRST SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND IT RIGHTEOUSNESS JESUS IS THE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD. NO LONGER I BUT THE CHRIST WITHIN ME. MORE CHRIST MORE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD. AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.

In literal sense, the word Yoke means a bar of wood, so constructed as to unite two animals usually oxen , enabling them to work in the fields, drawing loads, pulling instruments used for farming. Figuratively, It is a symbol of Slavery 1 Tim 6 1 Servant hood Lev 26 13 I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high. Also Jer 27 8 12 Submission, Forced Subjection Burden, Load Christ Jesus has set us free from the yoke of bondage through the law. Jesus took upon himself the yoke of Law and fulfilled it. Therefore, through him, we can be set free from the yoke of sin and death. What a wonderful picture, Jesus is giving to those who are exhausted, weary and burdened from carrying the load by themselves! What a comfort, peace, joy and rest it is to know that Jesus is right with us, walking with us, teaching us and strengthening us side by side! We may be under the yoke of sin, oppression, guilt, failures, anxieties 1 Pet 5 7 , or worries. Jesus has set us free from the yoke, we just need to COME to him and cast our heavy burden on him. And he will give the rest for our souls.

The kingdom Of Heaven is Israel. When It Says The kingdom Being The Nation Of Israel "suffereth violence " it 's talking about the roman kingdom ruling and taking over the nation of israel "and the violent take it by force. " The Violent People Took The Kingdom By Force. Talking About 70 AD

God is Love. He shows this by not giving us any grudges not out daily shortcomings, but persuades us to repent. He focuses on His Mission, without anything distracting Him. That all mankind follow Him.

Really when i ponder on this chapter and verse of the bible,there is this strenght that comes into me and the assurance that life without Christ Jesus is always a life of struggles and mishaps.It tells me that all i need in life is Jesus!!!!!!

i believe whatever we are passing through that seems so hard for us overcome. Lord Jesus is given us asssurance that we can find rest in Him

Verse 28 "Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. ' " Let 's get to the point Jesus is making. You can 't come to Jesus unless you talk to him in prayer. And you can 't pray to him unless he is God. Jesus is God and always has been. We just have not been taught this. And that is a shame. God talks to us like this. "Hi! I 'd like to say good morning to you. I am Jesus. The Father sends his greetings, too. " And when we ask Jesus to show us the Father, he says, "When you see me you see the Father who sent me, " meaning that the Father and Jesus are the same God. And Jesus finishes his greetings by saying, "By the way, the Holy Spirit sends his greetings, too, " meaning the Holy Spirit is the same God the Father and Jesus are. " That is why Jesus said to Nicodemus, 'You are a respected Jewish teacher and yet you don 't understand these things? I assure you, I am telling you what WE know and have seen, and yet you won 't believe US. " The WE and the US are Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit, all three personalities of the same God. I hope this helps us better understand God!

people of God should always follow the teaching of Jesus and not use their idiology in serving God

Often in the hour of severe trial, as John the Baptist was facing in his beheading, we are comforted by the truths of Christ that we already know. Christ sent no new message of comfort to John, nor did He make a personal appearance in the prison. He sent a message, "Go tell John AGAIN... " Comfort is awaiting us in the scriptures. Often, we simply need to review what we already know, this time letting the words of Christ sink deeper into our heart and soul.

Sin is a heavy burden to bear . Fight the good fight of faith. It is from time to time hard to do what God says but the rewards are out of this world . I choose life and I choose life more abundantly in the Lord Jesus . I would rather do what is hard to do and get rest and assurance than carry the burden of sin . Sin always takes you farther than you want to go.

It pays to serve God for he will never give you more than you can bear. God always rewards those who faithfully and diligently work for him. Never stop serving the Lord for that is the reason why you were born.

when we are in prayer and asking to be delivered we need to remember JESUS yoke is easy and his burden is light. sometimes we need to remember that JESUS is the author and finisher of our faith. WORSHIPPING AND PRAISING GOD IS A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE SITUATION.

His words are supported by "l send you out as sheep among wolves ".His message and ways proclaim peace, loosening the ties of prisonhood, and opposition to such can only come from those of violence.ln such manner, those who cannot make peace with God and all Godly manner seek to destroy the ministry, even though the gates of hell can ne 'er be able to prosper against this only Godly fortified kingdom.It is not easy to be a true disciple of God
