Matthew 11:28
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
«Kom naar Mij, jullie die vermoeid zijn en onder lasten gebukt gaan, Ik zal jullie rust geven» is Jezus' uitnodiging aan de uitgeputten om rust in Hem te vinden — verlichting voor de ziel, vrij gegeven.

The invitation is open to “all” who are weary — whether from religious striving, guilt, or the weight of life. The one thing required is to “come.”
The rest is not mere time off but soul-rest: relief from trying to earn God’s acceptance, found in trusting Christ. The next verses describe his “easy yoke,” a life lived with him rather than under crushing demand.
What kind of rest does Jesus offer?
Rest for the soul — relief from guilt, striving, and the burden of earning God’s favor — not necessarily an end to all hardship.
