Burdens that Only Christ can Remove

September 2, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt. 28: 11-30.

Whether we know it or not or are in denial, all are weary and heavy-laden— burdens that only Christ can remove. The heaviest burden we bear we bear is the burden of sin. If we were left to bear this burden, it would crush us. God became a man without ceasing to be God in the mystery of the incarnation.

Mysteries Revealed, Mysteries Concealed: To Whom and Why?

See Luke 8: 4-15. After giving the parable of the Sower to “a great multitude coming from every city,” His first twelve disciples later asked Jesus, “What does this parable mean?”

Are We Preparing for the Latter Rain?– Part XXXIV

 

A Sabbath-Keeping People

 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1: 1. In the bosom of these very first words of the Bible is cradled all the other truths following: the history of creation; the fall of man and its cause, the nature of the great controversy between God and Satan; the plan of redemption prepared before the fall, and the glorious restoration of all that was lost on account of sin—both of man and the whole earth.

Because man alone, the crowning act of creation, was created in the image and likeness of the Creator, it was natural for him to joyfully keep the memorial day of God’s appointment. It was in their nature to love, adore, obey, worship, and glorify their Creator who had made a perfect world and a perfect Eden home for them before creating them. The earth was designed to be Adam’s kingdom. Genesis 1: 26, 27.
