Matthew 11:28-29

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:29

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. Ver. 29. Take my yoke upon you ] q.d. Though freed by me from the damning and domineering power of sin, you must not think to live as you wish. In the greatest freedom is the least licence. a To argue from mercy to liberty is the devil’s logic: from mercy to duty is the right reasoning, as Romans 12:1 . Christians must not be yokeless, aweless, masterless, Belialists, that... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Come to me — Here he shows to whom he is pleased to reveal these things to the weary and heavy laden; ye that labour - After rest in God: and are heavy laden - With the guilt and power of sin: and I will give you rest - I alone (for none else can) will freely give you (what ye cannot purchase) rest from the guilt of sin by justification, and from the power of sin by sanctification. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Matthew 11:29

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.Take my yoke upon you — Believe in me: receive me as your prophet, priest, and king.For I am meek and lowly in heart — Meek toward all men, lowly toward God: and ye shall find rest - Whoever therefore does not find rest of soul, is not meek and lowly. The fault is not in the yoke of Christ: but in thee, who hast not taken it upon thee. Nor is it possible for any one to be... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:27-30

§ 40. JESUS, LORD OF ALL, INVITES ALL, Matthew 11:27-30 . This passage, 25-30, and especially Matthew 11:27, is so entirely in the style of John, that we might almost suppose Matthew to have inserted here a brief memorandum of our Saviour’s discoursing from that apostle’s hands. Alford more probably explains it as a momentary strain of a whole style of discourses of our Lord, reported by none of the evangelists but John alone. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:28

28. Come unto me Me, the very me to whom John has lately sent his message, Art thou He, or look we for another? Yet the very me who am the revealer (Matthew 11:27) of God to man. The very me who exists in ineffable unity with God the Father Almighty this person now stands as in the centre of a labouring, laden, oppressed world, and sends his piercing, mellow, tender voice to all the suffering sons of sorrow to escape all bondage by entering his bonds. Labour and are heavy laden The... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:29

29. Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly My gentle spirit and soul-subduing doctrines can alone give that temper by which the soul of the man, and the soul of the living world, may come to their true rest. Unto your souls Unless there be peace within there can never be peace without. Theorists and socialists will in vain attempt by external organizations to give peace. They are mistakenly endeavouring to work from the without to the within. Men’s hearts need to be regenerated in... read more
