ceaseless conflict ml conquest- for its fruitful toil and for its noblest and highest purposes- this is what christ came to effect in men this is the object of all his work and the interpretation of all his passion invitation to rest 29 take my yoke upon you christ takes upon himself the one side of the yoke and he invites you to come and occupy the empty place beside him he is the meek and lowly one he has been accustomed to the yoke this is the divine yoke fellow of whom you are to learn mo ving side by side with you that you may imitate his patient endurance his meekness and lowliness of spirit and learn of me we are to learn of the lord jesus first by studying the portrait of him as revealed in the gospels and then by living the christlikc life as the spirit of christ dwells in us teaching strengthening sanctifying and guiding us for i am meek and lowly in heart the word meek carries the idea of mild ness and gentleness and the absence of selfvindication and retaliation of injury and so it carries with it the conception of unselfishness what is to be lowly in heart the lowly- minded man is down in a humble sphere where he is content if he can only serve and ye shall find rest unto your souls here is a promise but there are specific conditions which must be met before the promise can be fulfilled we first come to christ- then we take his yoke upon us and then we learn of him when we have done these three things we shall no longer be seeking rest we shall have it 30 for my yoke is easy and my burden is light the word render ed easy means agreeable and ser viceable if christs yoke ever galls the neck it is because we do not work steadily in it rest for christian believers 1 let us fear therefore it is because we know the father it is is this your

saviour it is as the children of god and as the saints of christ that wa are to pass our earthly pilgrimage in icar this is not the fear which dreads condemna tion but the fear of those who are saved and whom christ has made free lest haply a promise being left of entering into his rest any one of you should seem to have come short of it 2 for indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us even as also they but the word of hearing did not profit them because it was not united by faith with them that heard 3 for we who have be lieved do enter into that rest tho mas carlyle in his life of schiller speaks of unrest as the never failing inmate of every human breast this is true of everyone outside of the lord jesus christ but in christ if the new vestamcnt teaches anything it teaches this that in believing we are to have peace and joy here is one of the deepest more precious themes of the word of god some thing which cannot be analyzed but must be entered into by experience even as he hath said as i sware in my wrath they shall not enter in to my rest these words are taken from psalm 95 11 and they refer to gods words to israeli especially as regards her entrance into the prom ised land had israel fully follow ed the explicit instructions of god in the matter of exterminating en emy peoples israel would haye had a complete rest from the exhausting taxing rebellious invasions and up- lismgs of these pagan peoples put there is certainly a deeper meaning here in the matter of rest a rest for the souls of the israelites a true resting in god although the works were finished from the foundation of the world 4 for he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise and god rusted on the seventh day from all his works 5 and in this place again they shall not enter into my rest 1 hese quotations are from gen 2 2 and psalms 9511 the rest of god is the expression of the perfect di vine complacency in the perfect di vine work a special day 6 seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience 7 he again defineth a certain day today saying in david so long a time afterward even as hath been said before today if ye shall hesr his voice hard en not your hearts 8 for if joshua had given them vest he would not have spoken afterward of another day 9 there remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of god we are not summoned to the heavy slumber which follows overtaxing toil nor to inaction or indolence but to the rest which is possible amid swift activity and strenuous work it is perfect equilibrium between out goings and incomings of life it is a contented heart it is peace that pass- eth all understanding it is the re pose of our will in the will of god 10 for he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works as god did from his 11 let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest that no man fall after the same example of disobedience the essence of sin is that sin cen tres in self instead of god we try to help ourselves instead of throwing our burden of sin and care and sor row upon the great sinbearcr and the man of sorrows who was ac- quainted with grief now when we come to christ we abandon all this selfhelp and ask him to be our help er we abandon all this selftrust and lean on his finished work we stop laboring to build up our own inter ests and we are taken up with the interests of his kingdom you shall never find rest until you find rest in ceasing from your own works as god did from his and entering into the sabbath of rest that remains for the people of god in this way survived rare operation listen kanada1937 kl imperial tobaccos m ins program every fridav nisjht on a
