Jesus … what God is really like

Morning: Psalm 18:1-20; Proverbs 7:1-27; I John 5:13-21

Evening: Psalm 18:21-50; Matthew 11:25-30

Some think God is a policeman or angry schoolteacher. But Jesus says you can understand God by getting to know Jesus himself: “Are you having a real struggle? Come to me!  Are you carrying a big load on your back?  Come to me – I’ll give you a rest!  Pick up my yoke and put it on; take lessons from me, I’ll be gentle with you!  The last thing in my heart is to give you a hard time.  You’ll see – rest you need, and rest you shall have.  My yoke is easy to wear; my load is easy to bear.”
