Truth is a crucial piece in the believer’s armour, girding the loins and, as such, freeing a man from life's entanglements.
God wants believers to serve Him in truth. In fact, it is this very issue that will determine “of what sort” our work is at the judgment seat of Christ.
The truth is more valuable than any earthly possession and it would be worth a man selling everything he owns just to possess the truth.
When men choose to reject the truth, God tends to withhold further truth from them. The result is spiritual and intellectual darkness.
Why would the Lord invite those weary from labour to wear a yoke? And then, why would the Lord promise rest by inviting people to labour?
The Lord commanded the apostles to separate themselves and rest a while. Each believer today should examine whether is obeying this command of the Lord.
Life will present difficult situations. The only viable solution will, at times, involve taking a step back and regrouping mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Christians will, at times, desire to hide from the ones to whom they have been called to minister. Even Christ had times when He desired seclusion.
Some believers err on the side of laziness while other believers err on the side of taking no rest. Both can be life threatening in one’s walk with God.
The land cannot continually endure the stress of producing the same crops without some time of rest for renewal. Man is no different.
