The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Tuesday, 1 August 2017 "Jesus' Work" Bible Reading: Matthew 11:28-30
Matthew 11:“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”(The Message)

Matthew 11:
28 “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.[
Matthew 11:29 Jeremiah 6:16
] 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
(Complete Jewish Bible)
-------
In our Bible verses today, Jesus talked about people who are tired and have heavy burdens. Jesus said that these people should come to Him and He would give them rest.
In verses 29 and 30 Jesus said, "Accept my teaching. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will be able to get some rest. Yes, the teaching that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I give you to carry is light." What work was Jesus talking about?
Jesus talked about our work in Mark 16:15. Jesus told His followers, "Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone." The Good News is that God has made a way for people to have their sins forgiven and live with Him forever. God gave His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and take the punishment for our sins.
I want to accept Jesus' burden today and tell someone the Good News! Won't you join me in sharing this wonderful news?
"Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son. God gave his Son so that every person that believes in him would not be lost, but have life forever." [John 3:16]
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I will accept Your work and tell someone about You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
