Preparing for Sunday

Song Highlight: Come To Jesus (Rest In Him)

Our hymn highlight this week is Come To Jesus (Rest In Him) by Matt Merker & Jordan Kauflin. This beautiful hymn is written to those weary of heart to “come to Jesus” and find “rest in Him.” Verse 1 of the hymn calls those who are weary and heavy laden to come to Christ so that we may receive the peace He so graciously and willingly offers. It brings Him great delight to draw His chosen ones to Himself and give them rest. Verse 2 calls those who are plagued with shame and guilt to come to Jesus so that they may receive the forgiveness that is granted through His death and resurrection. He has truly paid for all the sins of His chosen ones, thus He calls us to find mercy and rest in Him alone. Lastly, verse 3 calls the broken hearted and troubled souls to put their hope not in the broken world around us, but in the promise that He will return again to restore all things and bring us into His presence forever. By His faithful sustenance, we will be brought safely home where we will see our Savior face-to-face and rest in His arms forever. How glorious! As the chorus resounds, “How sure His compassion for us! Oh how deep is His love!” How sure and great indeed! 

So friend, why would you seek rest in anything but our gracious Lord and Savior? In all your sorrow, in all your guilt, in all the troubles this fallen world brings, Jesus is willing and able to bring comfort and peace to you. “So come, come to Jesus and rest in Him.”
