Laboring or Resting?

Labor Day 

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

And so, since June 28, 1894, Labor Day has been a Federal holiday here in America.  The first Labor Day parade is depicted here:

And so, today, some will rest from their customary work, while others will attend their jobs as usual.  As you would expect from me, I have to tie this to Scripture.  For sure I do!😊

Rest. Because of the Unsurpassed Labor of the LORD JESUS, you and I have REST. 
Rest from the labor of trying to save ourselves! We have and can continue RESTING in the Finished Work of Our Savior. That’s really good news, any day, not just today! 

Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV

So I have to ask, are you laboring today or resting?

As I sit to write, it is August 19, 2025. 
Today, Facebook brought back a four-year-old memory. 

Today, a devotional reading told me GOD’s command to me is to Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. 

Now you will not read this little piece of writing until tomorrow or even some uncertain day to come — will the message be the same?  Will GOD still mean what He said 2,000 years ago – Matthew 28? I reckon He will!!

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  source 

So, now I am wondering, you who are reading this right now – yes, you.  Has anyone ever told you about JESUS, or if you prefer, YESHUA?
Do you know His Story?
If not, do you want to know His Story? 
I’m just wondering how many people in the world have not heard that JESUS is,  just how many people do not know HE is the Savior? And just how many people actually care to know.  
Do you wonder that too? 

Let me ask again,  have you heard that JESUS is The CHRIST – The Savior and that He is willing to save YOU?  
One other question — do you reckon you need to be saved? 

Actually, I am more than wondering; I am willing to tell you what I know about JESUS if you are hungry to hear.  
A song I heard on Sunday, in part, gave these words: Come home, come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home…
You who are weary — and I thought maybe that’s why the altar is so bare, people are not yet weary of the burden of their sin. 

It is my earnest prayer that people become weary of their sins — because this I know, when they get weary, JESUS is ready to lift, cleanse, and save!

I reckon that’s all for now —

2024, Gospel of John, Heaven, Salvation, Who is the REAL JESUS?

Really Really Real

approximate read time: 1 minute

I’ve been reading John 14-17.  If you want to learn JESUS, read those chapters and all of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

But for now, back to John 17, in particular, these verses:

24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me. 26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.” SOURCE

Does your mind ever wander and you find yourself thinking, is He really coming back; is heaven really real; will I really go there when this body wears out and I leave it?

If we have the assurance of His Salvation within us, YES.
Yes, He really is coming back.
Yes, heaven is really, really, REAL.
Yes, we will go there IF we have been born again.  Nicodemus – John 3

We can not fathom HIM or heaven, but we try. bright-sun-shining-thru-clouds-862x485-1614795802

So who do we see JESUS to be in these passages?
The Saviour Who Loves Us. The Saviour Who actually WANTS us to be with HIM.

Are you somehow, not sure how, but somehow you just KNOW that you know that HE loves you?
Good!
Keep seeking HIM. Keep reading HIM and you will learn HIM.
That’s my mission. I hope it is yours too.
