“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls…” (Matthew 11:28-29)
Have you ever been soul weary? spiritually bankrupt, unable to claim the promises of God no matter how strong your belief? Have you ever lost your belief in God altogether? What does it mean to “learn from” Jesus?
The renewal that Jesus promises comes from a shift of perspective. This shift moves from individual to collective consciousness, from “you and me” to “we and us”, from “God out there” to “God in, around, and through here”, from “body, mind, spirit” to “incarnation”, from “two” to “one”.
We move from duality to unity, and in this unitive vision, we drink in the message of Jesus. This message is not limited to the historical figure but expands into the Cosmic Christ. We become part of the message, not merely hearers forever chasing the unattainable king. We are larger, stronger than we imagine, more vulnerable than we admit, more capable of compassion than we dare to believe.
Rest, dear friends, in the Cosmic Christ, and watch your life change from the inside out.
