THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCRIPTURE

The key to this verse is understanding the meaning of "Come to me". The Greek makes is more clear, "Come hither toward me". Hither means adjacent or be next to, along side or adjoining. We are walking with God. We have to take the first step. This must include an act of sincere repentance. Then we can receive rest, but this word also means refresh. One could take this as receiving a second wind, being refreshed, to fight the daily struggle of overcoming.

ELLICOTT'S COMMENTARY:

"COME UNTO ME"—As in the consciousness of this plenitude of power, the Son of Man turns with infinite compassion to those whose weakness and weariness He has shared, and offers them the rest which none other can give them.

"LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN".—The words arc wide enough to cover every form of human sin and sorrow, but the thought that was most prominent in them at the time was that of the burdens grievous to be borne, the yoke of traditions and ordinances which the Pharisees and scribes had imposed on the consciences of men. (Comp. Matthew 23:4, Acts 15:10.) The first of the two words gives prominence to the active, the latter to the passive, aspect of human suffering, by whatever cause produced.

FROM STRONG'S CONCORDANCE:

"I WILL GIVE YOU REST.—The I is emphasized in the Greek. He gives what no one else can give—rest from the burden of sin, from the weariness of fruitless toil.

LABOR..."From a derivative of kopos; to feel fatigue; by implication, to work hard."

HEAVY LADEN..."From a derivative of kopos; to feel fatigue; by implication, to work hard."

GIVE YOU REST..."to repose (be exempt), remain); by implication, to refresh."
