In life we all have problems and we all fall short from the glory of God's goodness. Come to Jesus! Why? Because we fall short. Short of what? The perfect life and standard of Gods' pure law. Coming to Jesus is coming to the one who met our Fathers' perfect standard and fulfilled every aspect of God s' law. He knew and fulfilled even the smallest requirement of  His Father. Jesus covered every jot and tittle, every dot and comma and small markings of the law. Jesus fulfilled Gods, His Father ultimate task.

That task was to fix what we broke. Jesus came and opened a door to come dine with His Father. Jesus restored the intimate relationship of Gods' fellowship with humanity. Jesus came and removed the sin, our sin that separates us from the glory of God almighty. Through Jesus' forgiveness of sin, we get to hang out with the God who Created life! We, through Jesus, are allowed into the Heavenly Court of God!

How did Jesus fulfil what His Father wanted? Jesus became obedient to His Fathers desire to fix our broken relationship. Jesus became willing to take on our debt of sin, of which the penalty is death. Jesus became willing to die for you and I.

Why do we care about this? Think about it. Life and death are laid in your path. Rest or toil is laid in your path. Grace or justice is laid in your path. We all come to this point. The point of decision. Decide your future: life, rest and grace, or death, toil and the justice of God who cannot bear sin. He will not look on it or overlook it. Sin must be paid for and Jesus did that. Jesus took His own life and gave it up for our sin.

Do you want His rest? Sin is hard work and it only pays out with death.  

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28
