How Much Can We Trust Jesus?

Can I rest on Jesus’ shoulders?

“Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down…The Lord laid on Him the sins of us all.” Isaiah 53:4,6

In this season, when people celebrate the traditional belief of Jesus’ birth, we don’t usually think about the hard part of the story. But the little baby Jesus grew into a man who shouldered the sins of the world. His shoulders were beaten and whipped bloody, they bore a cross up a hill, and then they hung on that cross until His death cleared away our guilt for sin. Just as Jesus bore our sins on His shoulders, He now carries our burdens. In fact, our future for eternity rests on them. Jesus invites you to now rest on Him. You cannot save yourself alone. You need a Savior. That’s what Jesus has lived (and died) here on earth for. Salvation does not come by good works but by faith in Christ Jesus. Let Him enter your life. You can rest on Him. He will provide you eternal life that’s beyond measure in the world we live in today. All your hang ups, troubles, concerns, problems, and trials now. Give it to Jesus by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior.

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime–until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” Isaiah 46:4
