March 14 – Know the Son – Know the Father and Find Rest

Matthew 11:25-30

The Father hid truths from the wise and revealed them to babes. No one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come unto Me, all you who are weary…and I will give you rest.

It is amazing that we just can’t understand God unless He reveals Himself to us---and we can get pretty tired trying to understand Him. So it is logical that after we’ve gotten all tired out, He restores us. Gives us His rest, which is peaceful and complete. Be yoked to Jesus and He pulls the load---our burden is light. When oxen or horses are yoked together they can work much heavier loads for longer times than if they worked alone or just side by side. That yoke helps them work as one. What a sport—Jesus takes on our burdens---takes them right to the Father, who knows Him and loves Him…thus knows and loves us. I feel so loved and blessed to be chosen---that’s right CHOSEN---to know the Heavenly Father. What a privilege—to be eternally known by the Son and the Father. Humbling. Exalting.  

Thank you for revealing yourself and the Heavenly Father to us. Thank you---it seems hardly enough to say that, Lord. We find our rest in You---our strength and our peace.
