I hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoyed the time off to spend with family.

This morning we will be finishing off the 11th chapter in the Gospel of Matthew.

We have some text this morning that can be a bit tricky to parse. Jesus will start off by talking about John the Baptist, then He will move into to proclaiming some "Woes" to a few unrepentant cities, and then we will finish off the chapter with some beautiful, comforting and familiar text:

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”(Matthew 11:28-30).
