Jesus, in the book of Matt 11:28 has called each and every one with burdens to come unto Him
Because of the sins of our forefathers (Adam & Eve), all of us are in a ditch (sin).
However God has made a way out of the ditch through his Son Jesus. However it is a choice to accept the way out of the ditch through Christ.
- It is a call from sorrow to joy
- It is a call from troubled heart to a settled heart
- It is a call from lack to abundance
- From being needy to becoming a victor
- A call from the valley unto the mountain top
Indeed it is a very rich call that many people all over the world today have decided to reject.
