Topic: THE BURDEN BEARER

MEMORIZE: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew11:28-29.

SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew11:28-30

EXPOSITION: 

BURDEN is a weight or load, on body or soul; often used figuratively, to denote afflictions, failure, sins, Psalm38:4; 55:22; Gal.6:2; services under law, Matthew 23:4; official responsibilities, Exodus18:22; Deuteronomy 1:12; and especially prophetic messages, not always of a threatening character, Isaiah19:1. Labour – Greek “Kopiao” –  to feel fatigue, to work hard, toil. Portidzo – to carry a load; to over-burdened with ceremony. The yoke of sin and pain of guilt and affliction is laid on man through sin. And nothing we can do by our natural power that can relief us. The men of old tried all they could but ended up being slaves to laws through violation of it. Sin then men seek way out.

Who is our burden bearer? Jesus Christ. He says – “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew11:28-29. Isaiah declared concerning him, “Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed…” Isaiah 53:4-9.

The stripes on our Lord Jesus Christ was/is still for our healing, the healing from all kinds of diseases, infirmities, sicknesses, illnesses and all unhealthy living we might be exposed to. By His stripes, we are healed. Yes, we are healed, even before we any symptom of it. He took our infirmities upon himself. We only need to walk by faith to exercise the Scripture concerning our healing by his stripes. When we are helpless and weak, Christ took it upon himself to bear our burden. He is our burden bearer. Cast your burden/care upon Him because He cares for us.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, I release all my burdens unto you today, help me bear them all as from today. I cannot help myself, only you can help me.
