He who believes in me, as the Scripture said, his innermost ‘From being will flow rivers of living But this he spoke of the Spirit, water.’” whom those who believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go John 16:7 “But away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” And I think today he once again summons us to follow. Please close your eyes and let me read to you again summons that I read at Jesus’ the beginning of this talk: to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, Matthew 11:28-30 “Come and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Keep your eyes closed. I will read a responsive prayer based upon these verses. I will pray a line and you pray it after me if it communicates what is on your own heart. Precious Master and Savior Jesus me to come You’ve invited I come to you today I am weary and burdened You have offered to give me rest I receive the rest you give to me You have told me to put on a yoke I accept your yoke Please place it upon me I submit myself to you As your disciple I want to learn from you I want to sit at your feet I want to walk with you I want to take up my cross And follow you Thank you for your gentleness
