What is the meaning of Matthew 11verses 27 and 28?

Answer 1

In the Old Testament, "know" means more than knowledge. It implies an intimate relationship. The communion between God the Father and God the Son is the core of their relationship. For anyone else to know God, God must reveal himself to that person, by the Son's choice. How fortunate we are that Jesus has clearly revealed to us God, h is truth, and how we can know Him.

Verse 28 I used to have a hard time understanding- Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. A yoke is a heavy wooden harness that fits over the shoulders of an ox or oxen. It is attached to a piece of equipment the oxen are to pull. A person may be carrying heavy burdens of (1) sin, (2) excessive demand of religious leaders (3) oppression and persecution or (4) weariness in the search for God.. Jesus frees people from all these burdens. The rest Jesus promises is love, healing, and peace with God, not the end of all labor. A relationship with God changes meaningless, wearisome toil into spiritual productivity and purpose. Acts 15:10,11 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? vs11 No! We believe it is through grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
