SERVING GOD IS NOT A WEARISOME THING (Continued)
We continue to examine this word "REST" which the Saviour uses to describe what those who serve Him enjoy.
Rest is found in bearing Christ's yoke. He is there alongside us. "For we are labourers together with God," 1 Corinthians 3:9.
Consider also:
God's vineyard is a place of rich reward.
"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it," Pro 10:22. "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory," 1 Samuel 2:8.
There is:
IMMEDIATE REWARDS HERE ON EARTH. John 15:11; 16:20, 22; Acts 8:8, 13:52, 15:3; 1 Peter 1:8. "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost," Romans 14:17.
