| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Isn't it great to get an invitation to an event that says, |
| 0:29.4 | Just bring yourself and come as you are. |
| 0:31.9 | No formal attire, no gift required, just show up and enjoy. |
| 0:37.4 | Well, today on Truth for Life, |
| 0:38.7 | Alistair Begg examines Jesus' gracious invitation |
| 0:41.7 | and explains why we can and must come to him and trust in him. |
| 0:52.9 | Well, let's just read 28 to 30 of Matthew 11. Jesus says, come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, |
| 1:02.0 | and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, |
| 1:10.6 | and you will find rest for your souls, for my |

| 2:04.6 | possibly come? And yet he says, come. Because in his voice of coming, there is enabling. |
| 2:14.0 | His voice sounding out stirs in the hearts of those who are weary and laden down and burdened, |
| 2:23.0 | whatever it might be. |
| 2:24.3 | And the call is not, as we've said, to a philosophy, it's not to a program, it's not to |
| 2:29.9 | a religious expression, it's just to a person. I heard the voice of Jesus say, |
| 2:37.4 | come unto me and rest. And I came to him. That is Christian testimony. That's the testimony. |
| 2:44.3 | It's not, I heard the voice of Jesus saying I went to church. That's fine. I heard the voice |
