Reader, are you among those who have never known what it is to be “weary and heavy laden” with the burden of your sins? I beseech you, think of the matter in time—consider it “while it is today” and you will find that there is a willing, loving Jesus, ready to give you “rest”—ready to relieve you of the load. “Come” to Him, and He will do it. Believe on Him, and you will know that they all have been forgiven. “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (the risen Jesus) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by Him all that believe, are justified from all things.” (Acts 13:38-39.)
May God, in His great mercy, enlighten your understanding to know your need of Jesus as a Saviour; and teach you to trust in Him as the only one who can save; and may you, and every “weary” traveler who reads these lines, be led by His holy Spirit into the present enjoyment of the truth contained in that simple inscription, “Rest and be thankful,” for His name’s sake. Amen.
