Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28

These notes were posted as notes on Matthew 11:20-30 - though they do take us beyond that passage! In John 16:8-11, Jesus speaks of the work of the Holy Spirit, convicting the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Before there can be conversion, there needs to be conviction of sin. None of us can come to the Saviour of sinners without first seeing ourselves as sinners who need the Saviour. God uses the warning of judgment to send us to the Saviour - there ‘will be...judgment’, so make sure that you ‘come’to Christ for salvation (Matthew 11:24, 28; Luke 3:7-8; Hebrews 2:3; 3:7-15). Before there can be growth in grace, there needs to be conversion. Before we can live a righteous life, learning from Christ (Matthew 11:29; 1 Peter 1:15-16), we must come to Christ for rest, being declared righteous by Him (Matthew 11:28; Romans 4:5-8). In Christ, we have salvation, set free from judgment - ‘no condemnation’- and set free for righteousness - ‘living according to the Spirit’(Romans 8:1).
