Christ\u2019s Offer of Rest<\/b><\/p>\n
In the Philippines I heard a local pastor use the following parable to illustrate Christ\u2019s offer of rest (Matt. ll:28) and the response of people who won\u2019t trust Him completely: The driver of a caribou wagon was on his way to market when he overtook an old man carrying a heavy load. Taking compassion on him, the driver invited the old man to ride in the wagon.<\/p>\n
Gratefully the old man accepted. After a few minutes, the driver turned to see how the man was doing. To his surprise, he found him still straining under the heavy weight, for he had not taken the burden off his shoulders.<\/p>\n
