A man was carrying a large bag of potatoes into his house. His neighbor stopped him and said, “I hear you have become a Christian. How do you know Jesus has saved you?”
The man took a few steps and then dropped the bag of potatoes from his back to the ground and said, “How do I know I have dropped the bag of potatoes? I have not looked around.”
Hid neighbor replied, “You know you have dropped them because you do not feel their heavy weight on your back.”
“That is how I know I am a Christian. I no longer have the heavy burden of my sins upon me. Jesus has given me peace and joy!”
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
