Every television commercial is an invitation. And of course I keep getting invitations to give more money. But Jesus' invitation is quite different. It is an invitation to the heavy laden. So we begin with any heavy burden that is weighing us down.
Some people face terrible financial problems.
Others have handicapped children to care for. Aging parents need our attention. And some of you have cancer wearing you down. Huge numbers of people are loaded with feelings of guilt and failure. Cruel nagging loneliness is very hard to bear.
