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

DISCOURSE: 1350CHRIST A MEEK AND LOWLY TEACHERMatthew 11:29. Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.EVERY office which Christ sustains in the economy of redemption, is replete with encouragement to sinful man. His sufficiency as our great High-Priest to make atonement for us, and his power as our King to subdue our enemies, are subjects of frequent meditation, and sources of unspeakable comfort, to the true Christian. His prophetic office,... 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

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Ver. 28. Come unto me ] Why do ye go about, as Jeremiah Jer 31:22 hath it, and fetch a compass? "Why labour ye for that which satisfieth not?" Isaiah 4:2 ; "Can the son of Jesse give you vineyards and olive yards," &c.? as Saul said; so say I, Can the world or the devil do for you as I can? Why come ye not unto me, that ye may be saved? Can you mend yourselves anywhere? &c. But the poor soul is... read more
