Many miss the treasure of the gospel when they believe Jesus invitation was simply to follow Him, live differently and become a Christian. But that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the offer He laid out. Instead His invitation was to come home with Him and be re-grafted back into the family God made that has been broken apart. Jesus masterfully crafts this invitation to his closest friends in MT 11 by creating a treasure map with hyperlinks to promises of hope made throughout the Old Testament going all the way back to the garden of Eden.

I heard John Eldredge once say "There are only 2 types of men in the world: Those who rely on God and those who rely on themselves."

"Which kind of man will I be?" is the life and death option every man must make. That's why Jesus offer is a rescue.

"Learn from me."
