“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Matthew 11:28-29

Living in first-century Palestine under Roman occupation and religious legalism, many people carried heavy spiritual and physical loads. Jesus offers Himself as the solution - not another burden, but true rest through relationship with Him.
