Are you tired? Worn out? Come to Jesus

Morning: Psalm 26, 28; Lamentations 1:1-12; I Corinthians 15:41-50  
Right after Jesus laments his generation’s childishness, he admits that children understand what sophisticated adults may miss.  Children don’t complicate things.  Here is Jesus’ uncomplicated invitation, according to Eugene Peterson: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Come.
Graham
