Matthew 11:25-30

Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children.

What sort of things you might ask? Well, if you are born in a place and time where you almost need a doctorate to understand what God is saying then the simplicity of Jesus is a gift. He looks at people who are burdened by Church and hunger and says to them “come to me you who are overburdened and I will give you rest.” The secret that he reveals to them is how unnecessary some of the little rules that the Pharisees or how narrow the Sadducees have defined God.

The one truth that unburdens me the most is this that there are no empty spaces. I live and move and have my being in Him. See you Father’s Day Sunday as we sing our traditional “The Old Man”
