Kingdom Come - Come to Jesus - Jim Parks

In our sin, we are naturally inclined to ignore God’s work, choosing self-reliance over dependence on Him. We are born with a prideful desire for independence from God, seeking in vain, rest for our souls through our own efforts rather than through his grace. Jesus call to us is “Come to me.” To answer that call is to take his yoke upon us, meaning we repent from self-reliance to turn to reliance on Christ. He gives us pardon for sin, empowers us to obey God and gives us rest for our souls.
