Matthew 11:28

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:25-30

Matthew 11:25-30 I. The word which our English version renders "I thank Thee" is in reality of more extended meaning. It means something of this kind, "I confess, I acknowledge, Thy great wisdom." There was something in the dispensation of God's providence, of which our Saviour speaks, which at once commended itself to His holy mind as wise and good; not merely something in which He saw the demonstration of God's power, which proved God's omnipotence, but rather that which equally proved His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:28

Matthew 11:28 I. Sin always imposes burdens upon the sinner. II. The burdens of the sinner are a continual appeal to the affection and power of Jesus Christ. III. Jesus Christ, in offering rest to burdened souls, asserted His claim to be regarded as God. IV. A double action is indicated in the offer. Come give. Come with your burdens, and in the very act of coming the burden will be taken away. R. A. Bertram, City Temple, vol. i., p. 11. References: Matthew 11:28 . Spurgeon, My Sermon... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:28-29

Matthew 11:28-29 One does not know whether tenderness or majesty is pre dominant in these wonderful words a Divine penetration into man's true condition, and a Divine pity, are expressed in them. Jesus looks with clear-sighted compassion into the inmost history of all hearts, and sees the toil and the sorrow which weigh on every soul. And no less remarkable is the Divine consciousness of power to succour and to help which speaks in them. I. Consider the twofold designation here of the persons... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:28-30

Matthew 11:28-30 In the little word "come" is folded up the whole morality of the sentence, the very ethics of the Gospel. I. "Come unto Me;" wherefore the all-important question is, How are we to come? We hear the call, we kindle into fervour at the Divine promise; but what are we to do? how are we to come? Faith is the hand that toucheth the hem of our Saviour's garment; or faith is the tongue which responds to the invitation, and saith, Lord, I come; faith is that which appropriates the... read more

DISCOURSE: 1349THE HEAVY-LADEN INVITED TO CHRISTMatthew 11:28. Come unto me, all ye that labour, and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.IT is thought by many, that the Gospel is a mere system of notions, which may be received without benefit, or rejected without loss. But it is rather proposed to us as a remedy for all the miseries, which sin has brought into the world. In it we are represented as guilty and undone: but Christ is set before us as a Saviour, and is exhibited under every... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:1-30

Chapter 11Now it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of these commandments, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities ( Matthew 11:1 ).So He sent them out in front of them, and then He departed and was following up now, and coming into the cities. They were sort of the advance men for Him to go out in advance.Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and he said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 11:1-30

Matthew 11:3 . Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another. Brevity here is connected with obscurity. John could not doubt, after seeing the glory, and hearing the voice from heaven. The main object seems to be, to transfer his disciples to the pastoral care of Christ, as well as to obtain fresh support of faith in the time of trouble. Matthew 11:4 . Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see. Unfold to him the accomplishment of all the glorious works... read more
