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!
