The Point
May 4, 2025



Matthew 11:28 - “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.


Genesis 2:2 - By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.


The word Sabbath…shabbat …simply means:


Exodus 31:14, 17 - “‘Observe the Sabbath, …17…for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.”


Refreshed means: Soul “To be re-souled” or “to be put back together.”

When Jesus says come to me:


• He is saying, “I will teach you about rest,” or “I will point you in the right direction of rest.”


4. Jesus is the point. When we orient everything in our lives around him, works.


Matthew 11:27 - “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.


Jesus establishes who he is:


Matthew 11:27 - “All things have been committed to me by my Father.


• Jesus unequivocally equates Himself with , calling Him “My Father.”


• In His deity, Jesus had received things — all authority, sovereignty, truth, and power — from the Father.
