To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, "Come to me and rest". But
there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same
invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with
your service, and do not mistake it. It is not, "Go, labour on," as perhaps you
imagine. On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, "Come to me and rest." Never,
never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work; never, never did He send a
hungry one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such
the Bible only says, "Come, come, come."
