100:00:00,380 –> 00:00:02,320shocked200:00:03,360 –> 00:00:06,720Let me ask you, do you think your life would be easier without Jesus Christ?300:00:07,760 –> 00:00:10,880Do you really think that the God of heaven and earth,400:00:12,160 –> 00:00:19,520wants above everything else to lay a massive burden on you? Is that what you think about God?500:00:20,480 –> 00:00:25,440Welcome to Open the Bible with pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pick, I’m glad you could be with us600:00:25,459 –> 00:00:30,240today. Colin I think a lot of people do think that God is putting a burden on them,700:00:30,240 –> 00:00:34,639that Christianity is all about the things you should be doing or not doing if you’re800:00:34,639 –> 00:00:37,799going to be a good Christian. That’s missing the point, isn’t it?900:00:37,799 –> 00:00:41,599I think that’s right and I think that’s exactly why we need the verse of scripture that we’re1000:00:41,599 –> 00:00:47,439looking at today. Jesus says, now the people who are heavy laden, you’re the ones who are to come1100:00:47,439 –> 00:00:53,840to me, come to me you who are burdened, those of you who are heavy laden. So here is God speaking,1200:00:53,840 –> 00:00:59,040he’s not saying, come and I’ll put a burden on you. He’s saying come to me because you are burdened1300:00:59,040 –> 00:01:04,080and I will give you rest. I’ll be the one that gets under the burden with you and gives you1400:01:04,080 –> 00:01:10,559strength to carry the burden. So to anyone who thinks that coming to god is to be burdened.1500:01:10,559 –> 00:01:16,400I just want to say it could not be more opposite. It’s the very opposite of God laying a burden1600:01:16,400 –> 00:01:22,559on you. It’s Jesus Christ coming alongside under the burden in order to help to lift it up.1700:01:22,559 –> 00:01:27,360All of us can relate to the feeling of being burdened, to have this heavy weight on us.1800:01:27,360 –> 00:01:32,160Even when we are a believer, it sometimes doesn’t feel as though God is lifting that burden.1900:01:32,160 –> 00:01:37,599No, because we still carry weights as Christians but you know Jesus says be yoked to me. The2000:01:37,599 –> 00:01:43,519beauty of that is that he pulls the burden with us. I would far rather lift the burdens of my2100:01:43,519 –> 00:01:47,760life with Jesus Christ pulling with me than do it without him trying to do it on my own.2200:01:47,760 –> 00:01:52,239There’s all the difference in the world between these two things and that’s the great gift that2300:01:52,559 –> 00:01:54,000brings to us. That’s what we’ll hear2400:01:54,000 –> 00:01:59,760about in today’s broadcast. So join us if you can in Matthew 11 as we continue the message,2500:01:59,760 –> 00:02:02,160Jesus will give you rest, here is Colin.2600:02:02,879 –> 00:02:06,160Many people know the President of the United States,2700:02:07,839 –> 00:02:12,399so many people can tell you about the President of the United States,2800:02:13,440 –> 00:02:18,960many people could if they wanted to introduce you to the President of the United States,2900:02:19,039 –> 00:02:22,800but what Jesus is saying here is that3000:02:22,800 –> 00:02:30,000with God it’s different. No one knows the father except the son.3100:02:31,919 –> 00:02:36,720Now this is so important, because when we get to this promise today.3200:02:36,720 –> 00:02:41,039You know, Jesus says to me all you weary and burdened and I will give you rest.3300:02:42,000 –> 00:02:47,279It would be very easy for us postmodern people to hear that promise like this.3400:02:47,360 –> 00:02:53,679We might hear well you know some of you here are tired and weary and if you feel a deep need3500:02:53,679 –> 00:02:59,039within your heart it’s a wonderful thing that you can come to Jesus and Jesus is going to help you.3600:03:00,000 –> 00:03:08,720That of course is true, and our postmodern world would like that to be the only thing that’s true.3700:03:10,160 –> 00:03:14,399Because what that leaves you with is a sort of take it or leave it Jesus if you feel your need3800:03:14,399 –> 00:03:18,080with Jesus you can come to him if you don’t feel you need of Jesus hey you know get on3900:03:18,080 –> 00:03:24,080with life your own way. I want you to understand from the scriptures today that the great New4000:03:24,080 –> 00:03:30,720Testament reason for coming to Jesus Christ is not if you happen to feel some great need in your heart4100:03:32,080 –> 00:03:37,279the great reason the great argument for coming to Jesus Christ in the New Testament right here4200:03:37,279 –> 00:03:47,600is this that without Jesus you don’t know God you can’t find God you don’t have God and on the last4300:03:47,600 –> 00:03:54,559day you will not have a hope in hell before God that’s the reason for coming to Jesus Christ4400:03:56,160 –> 00:04:03,839because no one knows the Father except the Son and there is no other way into knowledge of the4500:04:03,839 –> 00:04:09,919Father into relationship with the God of heaven and earth except through the Son because the4600:04:09,919 –> 00:04:15,279Father has committed all things to the Son and no one knows the Father except the Son4700:04:15,279 –> 00:04:21,920then Jesus says this that He can reveal the Father to us if He chooses to notice what He4800:04:21,920 –> 00:04:27,600says in verse 27 no one knows the father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to4900:04:27,600 –> 00:04:33,119reveal Him so what He’s saying is this I have exclusive knowledge of the Father and all things5000:04:33,119 –> 00:04:39,839have been trusted by the Father into my hands but if you will come to me I invite you if you5100:04:39,839 –> 00:04:44,640will come to me He’s saying I can bring you into this knowledge of God I can bring you into5200:04:44,640 –> 00:04:50,000a relationship with God He is saying to you what no one else in all of the world can say5300:04:51,600 –> 00:04:59,679now that’s who Jesus is let’s look secondly at what it is that the Son of God says to us5400:04:59,679 –> 00:05:05,359us there are two things that he invites us to do here there are different ways of saying the5500:05:05,359 –> 00:05:11,119same thing but there’s clearly something for us to do and it’s important for us here to hear what5600:05:11,119 –> 00:05:23,920Jesus says come to me and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and you will find rest5700:05:24,880 –> 00:05:31,839for your souls i want you to notice that if we are to receive what jesus offers there clearly5800:05:31,839 –> 00:05:40,720is something for us to do and we need to hear this clearly because what we experience or what5900:05:40,720 –> 00:05:47,279we do not experience from the lord jesus christ clearly relates to whether we are doing these6000:05:47,279 –> 00:05:52,480things that he tells us to do invites us to do or whether we are not doing them there are things6100:05:52,480 –> 00:05:57,440that you can do today that some people will do today and some people will not do today6200:05:57,440 –> 00:06:03,119and our experience will differ because there’s a part for you to play6300:06:03,119 –> 00:06:11,519here satan sows unbelief in the hearts of many whenever the word of god is preached6400:06:12,959 –> 00:06:17,359here’s how he might do it with this verse with you he might already be saying to you6500:06:17,359 –> 00:06:22,880jesus says you can have rest you don’t have rest therefore this is all talk this is all6600:06:22,880 –> 00:06:30,720you know nothing to it heard it all before but actually you’re not hearing what jesus says jesus6700:06:30,720 –> 00:06:38,880says come to me take my yoke upon you there’s something i want you to do in order for you6800:06:38,880 –> 00:06:48,000weary as you are to experience what i am promising to give you we really need to hear this clearly6900:06:49,679 –> 00:06:52,399what is it that jesus says we’re to do he says come to me7000:06:54,320 –> 00:07:00,000now i find just sometimes that it helps to sharpen my understanding of what our lord is saying7100:07:00,000 –> 00:07:04,720when i put it alongside what he didn’t say it just clears it up a little bit for me7200:07:04,720 –> 00:07:10,000so let me just do that in two ways very briefly here i am so glad that jesus said come to me7300:07:11,119 –> 00:07:17,600and that he did not say practice spiritual disciplines you glad about that you know7400:07:17,600 –> 00:07:24,480when i get really weary when i’m feeling that i’m at the end of my rope i don’t want to hear7500:07:24,480 –> 00:07:31,040a message that basically is saying to me try harder do more you know up your effort7600:07:32,000 –> 00:07:34,160and i’m exhausted that’s not going to help me7700:07:36,399 –> 00:07:42,239thank god jesus says come to me he does not say practice more spiritual disciplines and i7800:07:42,239 –> 00:07:48,239say this because jesus was speaking to people whose faith in itself had become a burden to them7900:07:49,359 –> 00:07:52,959jesus was speaking to perhaps the most religious faithful people who’d ever lived8000:07:54,399 –> 00:07:59,600people who were pouring everything into living a model life and who were praying8100:07:59,679 –> 00:08:04,559regularly and reading and studying the torah and so forth they were doing their8200:08:04,559 –> 00:08:11,440best to live godly lives as many of us are but they felt crushed crushed by their own attempts8300:08:11,440 –> 00:08:23,839to please god defeated and jesus is speaking to these model disciplined folks who are pouring8400:08:23,839 –> 00:08:31,760themselves into trying to live a good right life and he does not say add in another set of spiritual8500:08:31,760 –> 00:08:41,760disciplines he says come to me and i’ll give you something i’ll give you something8600:08:42,719 –> 00:08:48,799you’re feeling that you’re on a treadmill of life that is exhausting to you8700:08:49,520 –> 00:08:59,679you you day after day after day are trying to live up to a standard of godliness you’re weary8800:09:01,760 –> 00:09:04,479you know you can study your bible a lot never come to christ8900:09:06,239 –> 00:09:10,960you can even turn from sins and not come to christ come to me9000:09:11,840 –> 00:09:15,760then it’s helped me just to reflect on this that jesus9100:09:15,760 –> 00:09:19,599says come to me he does not say follow the impulse of your own heart9200:09:21,119 –> 00:09:27,280and the reason i just make that contrast is this that if the traditional conservative wisdom9300:09:28,000 –> 00:09:36,719is that you find rest by a moral life and by following disciplines of faith9400:09:36,719 –> 00:09:42,320i think that is the case that the conservative traditional wisdom around us is that you find9500:09:42,320 –> 00:09:50,400rest by a moral life by pursuing the disciplines of faith if that’s the case then the contemporary9600:09:50,400 –> 00:09:57,280liberal wisdom is that you will find rest by following the impulses of your own heart9700:09:58,559 –> 00:10:03,520and you will find a thousand counselors who will basically say to you you know follow9800:10:03,520 –> 00:10:06,400the impulses of your own heart what is your own heart telling you here9900:10:08,159 –> 00:10:13,119and the idea that we can basically find rest by following the impulses of our own hearts10000:10:14,000 –> 00:10:19,280rests on the massively flawed assumption that your heart actually knows what is good and10100:10:19,280 –> 00:10:23,919can distinguish it from what is evil which is precisely the lie that satan perpetrated in the10200:10:23,919 –> 00:10:27,919garden that’s what he said he said you’ll know what’s good you’ll just know you’ll just know10300:10:27,919 –> 00:10:33,919what’s good from what’s evil your heart will tell you follow the impulses of your own heart10400:10:33,919 –> 00:10:37,760and your life will always be restless why because our hearts are restless10500:10:40,400 –> 00:10:44,960so you won’t find rest in spiritual disciplines10600:10:47,760 –> 00:10:51,919you won’t find rest in pursuing the impulses of your own heart10700:10:51,919 –> 00:11:01,760heart but Jesus says come to me and I will give you rest10800:11:02,799 –> 00:11:06,640you’re listening to open the bible with pastor Cullyn Smith and a message called10900:11:06,640 –> 00:11:13,200Jesus will give you rest part of our series rock solid

chapter 11. Here again is Cullyn now as we think about11500:11:44,239 –> 00:11:49,520what Jesus is inviting us to do here. Come to me why does he say come why doesn’t it say believe11600:11:49,520 –> 00:11:55,520which, of course, is said in other places. I want you to notice that the bible uses a spectrum of11700:11:55,520 –> 00:12:03,679language to, as it were, fill out or color in what a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ11800:12:03,679 –> 00:12:08,559really looks like and the word come particularly helps us because it reminds us that there is11900:12:08,559 –> 00:12:15,840movement. Like the prodigal son who at one point decided i’m going to go to my father. There’s12000:12:15,840 –> 00:12:22,159movement. He’s not simply believing certain things they’re coming, there’s movement towards12100:12:22,159 –> 00:12:27,200Jesus Christ with all the burdens that you are carrying and a bringing of them to him.12200:12:28,880 –> 00:12:33,520Jesus speaks about our relationship with him in terms of believing, in terms of following,12300:12:33,520 –> 00:12:38,960in terms of coming, in terms of receiving. I want you to notice in verse 29 he describes it in12400:12:38,960 –> 00:12:46,799another way, he says, take my yoke upon you and learn of me. Now that is saying the same thing12500:12:46,799 –> 00:12:53,039as come in a different way. It’s filling out what is meant by coming to Jesus Christ. We know it’s12600:12:53,039 –> 00:12:58,400the same thing because Jesus makes the same promise. Verse 28, I will give you rest. Verse 29,12700:12:58,400 –> 00:13:03,520you will find rest for your soul. It’s the same promise, and therefore when he’s describing what12800:13:03,520 –> 00:13:11,039we are to do he is describing the same thing in two different ways. One way of saying what we have12900:13:11,039 –> 00:13:15,760to do to find rest is that we are to come to Christ. Another way of saying the same13000:13:15,760 –> 00:13:22,479thing is that we are to commit to Christ or to take his yoke upon us. Coming to Christ,13100:13:23,039 –> 00:13:28,719in other words, involves taking his yoke upon you. These are not two different things,13200:13:28,719 –> 00:13:32,719that could be like separated as different stages on the Christian journey. They’re two13300:13:32,719 –> 00:13:41,039ways of expressing what Jesus is inviting us to do in truly embracing him by faith today.13400:13:42,400 –> 00:13:48,159Take my yoke upon you. Now the yoke, of course, was simply a wooden beam that tied two animals13500:13:48,159 –> 00:13:53,599together, typically when they were dragging a plough, and in order to ensure that the two13600:13:53,599 –> 00:13:58,159of them worked effectively together the beam of wood that was shaped for the neck of13700:13:58,159 –> 00:14:04,559the two animals was placed upon both of them to ensure that they worked in tandem. Yoked.13800:14:05,840 –> 00:14:13,119By the way, be very careful who you get yoked to.13900:14:14,099 –> 00:14:24,679because what lies in them will lay itself on you and you will feel its weight.14000:14:26,679 –> 00:14:34,200this is very important in friendship it is very important in business it is supremely14100:14:34,200 –> 00:14:46,200important in thinking about marriage you ask the question what am i tying myself to here14200:14:46,960 –> 00:14:58,960now jesus says take my yoke upon you bind yourself to me walk with me coming to christ14300:14:59,700 –> 00:15:09,700Christ taking your yoke on you that’s not just a passing experience it’s a way of life14400:15:16,679 –> 00:15:20,359it is to learn of him pace yourself by him follow the pattern14500:15:21,080 –> 00:15:26,780by the way the idea that you can have Jesus as your savior without Jesus being14600:15:26,780 –> 00:15:31,659your Lord in some way you can come to him and have an eternally secure future14700:15:31,659 –> 00:15:36,919in heaven but that it can make no actual practical difference to your life is a14800:15:36,919 –> 00:15:41,200figment of the imagination that does nothing other than make unrepentant14900:15:41,200 –> 00:15:46,000sinners more comfortable in their continued rebellion against God it15000:15:46,000 –> 00:15:50,179appeal this idea that Jesus can be your savior without Jesus being your Lord15100:15:51,119 –> 00:15:56,500it appeals to the self-obsession of the boomer generation you won’t find15200:15:56,500 –> 00:16:01,239anything like it in the Bible it was reading this week I thought he stated15300:16:01,239 –> 00:16:08,799it so well Dr. Jim Packard he was writing in 1991 and he says this15400:16:08,799 –> 00:16:19,000if 10 years ago you had told me that I would live to see literate evangelicals15500:16:19,000 –> 00:16:25,599some with doctorates and a seminary teaching record arguing for the reality15600:16:25,599 –> 00:16:30,260of an eternal salvation divinely guaranteed that may have in it no15700:16:30,260 –> 00:16:36,119repentance no discipleship no behavioral change no practical acknowledgement of15800:16:36,119 –> 00:16:41,580Christ as Lord of one’s life and no perseverance in faith you told me ten15900:16:41,580 –> 00:16:46,280years ago he says that I would live to see that in evangelical churches I would16000:16:46,539 –> 00:16:52,919told you you were out of your mind and then he adds a bit I liked stark16100:16:52,919 –> 00:17:00,280staring bonkers as the British phrase I would probably have used but now the16200:17:00,280 –> 00:17:09,520thing has happened and he has one word he says Wow16300:17:10,300 –> 00:17:19,079my yoke upon you now you may be saying at this point now whoa whoa wait a16400:17:19,079 –> 00:17:23,439minute this is now beginning to sound like it’s going to be tough and you16500:17:23,439 –> 00:17:27,099might be saying well I connected a few moments ago when you were talking about16600:17:27,099 –> 00:17:30,959weary and burden and heavy laden now it sounds like you’re telling me that16700:17:30,959 –> 00:17:37,500Jesus wants to put a great yoke round my neck let me ask you do you think your16800:17:37,500 –> 00:17:43,439life would be easier without Jesus Christ do you really think that the God16900:17:43,439 –> 00:17:50,459of heaven and earth wants above everything else to lay a massive burden17000:17:50,459 –> 00:17:55,760on you is that what you think about God17100:17:56,859 –> 00:18:01,239friend if that is what you think about God you have never seen the glory of God17200:18:01,239 –> 00:18:07,859in the face of Jesus Christ to comes to lift burdens and if you think that17300:18:07,859 –> 00:18:11,599somehow your heart would be more free if you were not yoked to the Lord Jesus17400:18:11,599 –> 00:18:15,699Christ if you somehow have the idea that you would find more rest if you did not17500:18:15,699 –> 00:18:21,439bear this yoke I want you to hear what Jesus says he says take my yoke upon you17600:18:21,439 –> 00:18:30,959because I am gentle and I am humble in heart and my yoke is easy and my burden17700:18:30,959 –> 00:18:42,079is light it is the way of the sinner that is hard and think about this if you17800:18:42,079 –> 00:18:50,979are yoked to the Son of God what that means is that he pulls your17900:18:50,979 –> 00:18:57,839burden with you and can you imagine anything greater when you think about18000:18:57,859 –> 00:19:01,900the weight the load that you’re carrying in your life right now can you think of18100:19:01,900 –> 00:19:04,859anything greater can you think of anything better than to be yoked to the18200:19:04,859 –> 00:19:13,900Son of God and so we come to this great promise come to me and I will give you18300:19:13,900 –> 00:19:23,859rest take my yoke upon you and you will find rest for your soul18400:19:24,560 –> 00:19:31,239by the way rest doesn’t mean sleep some of us need sleep but not all of us and18500:19:31,239 –> 00:19:35,939certainly not all of the time so we’re not talking about Tylenol P.M. here that’s18600:19:35,939 –> 00:19:46,119not what’s at issue Christ calls us to an active life he’s not sending us to18700:19:46,119 –> 00:19:51,219sleep here’s what he’s saying he’s saying now you bring your wounds you18800:19:51,219 –> 00:19:55,560bring your hurts you bring your fears you bring your burdens you bring your18900:19:55,560 –> 00:20:00,079load you bring your regrets you bring your disappointments you bring your19000:20:00,079 –> 00:20:05,160anxieties you

you19400:20:27,319 –> 00:20:34,099will find rest for your soul I will give you this rest he says I’ll give it to19500:20:34,099 –> 00:20:37,599you no we live in a culture where everything19600:20:37,599 –> 00:20:45,199seems to be a process this isn’t a process this is a gift it’s not like a19700:20:45,199 –> 00:20:48,979prescription it’s not like a formula that you can get dispensed in a hundred19800:20:48,979 –> 00:20:54,660different places he’s saying you come to me and I will give you this gift you19900:20:54,660 –> 00:21:00,660drawn near to me you bring what is weighing on you to me today and I will20000:21:00,660 –> 00:21:07,540give you my peace my peace I give to him and you notice he uses the word you will20100:21:07,540 –> 00:21:13,800find rest for your souls he’s talking experience here20200:21:14,160 –> 00:21:20,420one more quote and were through Bishop Ryl was always so helpful he says on20300:21:20,420 –> 00:21:31,699this rest like this is the privilege of all believers in Christ some know more20400:21:31,699 –> 00:21:37,839of it and some less some feel it only at distant intervals20500:21:37,880 –> 00:21:46,079and some feel it almost always few enjoy the sense of it without many a battle20600:21:46,079 –> 00:21:53,079with unbelief and many a conflict with fear but all who truly come to Christ20700:21:53,079 –> 00:22:01,920knows something off this rest well I know something of it as you do if you’re20800:22:02,079 –> 00:22:10,439Christ who I need to know a lot more of it and probably you feel that you do too20900:22:10,439 –> 00:22:18,339and I cannot think of a better way for us to use the weight the load the21000:22:18,339 –> 00:22:29,479burdens that we carry but to see them as a reason for coming to Christ a
