Matthew 11:30 KJV,NLT

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:1-30

This picture of John is very full of pathos-from the high triumph of inspired preaching to the solitude and loneliness of a prison. John made as direct application to Jesus as his circumstances permitted. Surely the wisest course possible. Jesus answered him not by verbal assurance, but by the deeds of the Kingdom. The credentials of Christ are ever to be found in His actual works. The fickleness and worthlessness of public opinion has striking exemplification here. In the ordinary manner of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:25-30

THE REVELATION OF THE GOSPEL‘At that time Jesus answered and said … My burden is light.’ Matthew 11:25-Amos : Let us look at this remarkable passage sentence by sentence. I. To whom the Gospel was revealed.—First, the Lord gave open thanks to His Father because of the class of persons to whom the Gospel was revealed. They had something which no book-learning could give. They believed in Jesus as their Lord and Master, and trusted Him implicitly. II. A further truth.—Secondly, the Lord... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:30

THE YOKE OF CHRIST For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.’ Matthew 11:30 It is beautifully instructive how, in this incomparably winning invitation of Jesus, the call to rest, and the call to labour, are blended. The rest of faith, and the labour of love! I. The easy yoke.—The ‘yoke’ of a Christian is not always necessarily ‘easy.’ Then how are we to reconcile the contradiction? Beyond a doubt, the explanation is to be found not in the character of the ‘yoke,’ but in the state and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:28-30

A General Appeal To Men And Women (11:28-30). This final general appeal to all who will hear confirms that in spite of His words to the towns, for those who will respond there is a way back to God. In the turmoil of a troubled world there is a place of rest, and it is under His yoke which will result in walking as outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. So He calls on men and women to turn from the yoke of the Scribes and Pharisees and come under His yoke and walk with Him. The yoke was a well... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:30

“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” The word translated ‘easy’ means ‘good, kind’. The point is that the yoke fits well and makes life easy so as to enable the task to be done quicker and better. It is not a recipe for idleness. As a carpenter Jesus had known what it meant to make a yoke fit the particular team that it was intended for so as to make life for the oxen as easy as possible. And that is what He is saying here, the yoke that He gives us will be designed just for us, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:25-30

Matthew 11:25-Amos : . Jesus and His Mission. Matthew 11:25-Daniel : treats of the relation between the Father and the Son ( Luke 10:21 f.), Matthew 11:28-Amos : of the yoke of Jesus (Mt. only). No stress can be laid on “ at that time,” though “ these things” might mean the significance of the wonders which Chorazin and the other towns had not perceived, or (excluding Matthew 11:20-Jeremiah :) the methods of the Divine wisdom. Lk. makes the words refer to the theme of the preaching of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:28-30

Our Lord having before showed; 1. That all power was given to him; 2. That none could know the Father but by and in him; closes his discourse with an invitation of persons to him. By the weary and heavy laden, in the text, some understand those that are laden with the sense of their sins, and the feeling the guilt of them. Others understand, with the burden of the law, which the apostles called a yoke, Acts 15:10. Mr. Calvin thinks this too strait an interpretation. Others understand heavy... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 11:25-30

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 11:25. Answered and said.—A Hebraism for “spake and said” (Carr). But Dr. Monro Gibson observes: “As we read, first of the doubts of John, then of the thoughtlessness of the multitudes, and then of the impenitence of the favoured cities by the lake, is there not a question in our hearts, becoming more and more urgent as each new discouragement appears: What will He say to this? What can He answer?” (Expositor’s Bible). Prudent.—Understanding (R.V.). The understanding is a... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:25-30

Matthew 11:25-30 I. The word which our English version renders "I thank Thee" is in reality of more extended meaning. It means something of this kind, "I confess, I acknowledge, Thy great wisdom." There was something in the dispensation of God's providence, of which our Saviour speaks, which at once commended itself to His holy mind as wise and good; not merely something in which He saw the demonstration of God's power, which proved God's omnipotence, but rather that which equally proved His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:28-30

Matthew 11:28-30 In the little word "come" is folded up the whole morality of the sentence, the very ethics of the Gospel. I. "Come unto Me;" wherefore the all-important question is, How are we to come? We hear the call, we kindle into fervour at the Divine promise; but what are we to do? how are we to come? Faith is the hand that toucheth the hem of our Saviour's garment; or faith is the tongue which responds to the invitation, and saith, Lord, I come; faith is that which appropriates the... read more
