“Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary And Burdened”

📜The word says… “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 🌿 What is in your mind? What burdens are you silently carrying that feel too heavy to bear? 📖 Insight Jesus spoke these words to people weighed down by life, religion, and guilt. Unlike the religious leaders who demanded perfection, Jesus offered rest, not rules. He wasn’t calling the strong — He was calling the exhausted. 🌾 Story A man carried a heavy backpack on a long road. A friend stopped and said, “Hop on my cart.” The man did — but kept holding the pack. His friend said, “Lay it down — the cart can carry both of us.” That’s what Jesus says: “Lay it down. I can carry you.” 💡 You can’t do it alone… Every time anxiety rises, stop and say: “Jesus, I give this to You.” Rest isn’t found in running away or escaping life — it’s found in trusting the One who holds your life. 🙏 Let us humble ourselves in Prayer. Jesus, I come before you surrendered. I bring You my weariness, frustrations, burdens, guilt of my sin, my illness, depression, anger, loneliness, addiction, worries about my future and ALL that is making my heart burdened. Teach me to rest in You, to stop striving, to stop doubting, to stop running away from you.. and to trust You.. to find strength and courage through the Holy Spirit. Amen. #Faith #ChristianLiving #JesusLives #CarriedByJesus #Truth Follow my profile to learn more from The Word.

☀️ 🕊️ Who Are God’s Chosen — and Why? What Does “Chosen” Mean? In Scripture, the Jewish people — the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — are repeatedly described as God’s “chosen” people. “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” — Deuteronomy 7:6 The word “chosen” does not mean superior. It means set apart for a purpose. ⸻ Did God Say Why He Chose Israel? Yes. Scripture is very clear. In Deuteronomy 7:7–8, God says: • He did not choose Israel because they were numerous (they were few). • He did not choose them because of their greatness. • He chose them because He loved them and to keep His covenant promise to Abraham. In other words: Election was rooted in covenant love, not merit. Later, in Deuteronomy 9:4–6, God explicitly tells Israel it was not because of their righteousness. Scripture repeatedly shows Israel’s failures — idolatry, rebellion, disobedience — yet also God’s discipline and restoration. Like a loving parent, God rebuked, corrected, exiled, restored, and preserved them. ⸻ The Purpose of Israel’s Choosing God chose Israel to be: • The lineage of the Messiah (Genesis 12:3; 2 Samuel 7; Isaiah 9; Micah 5:2) • The custodians of Scripture (Romans 3:1–2) • A light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6) • The human lineage through which the Messiah would enter the world (Matthew 1; Luke 3) As Paul writes: “From them, according to the flesh, is the Christ.” — Romans 9:5 Yeshua (Jesus) was born Jewish, lived under Jewish law, fulfilled Jewish prophecy, died as the Jewish Messiah, and rose as the Redeemer of the world. Salvation is from the Jews (John 4:22). ⸻ The Numbers Today: • Jewish people make up roughly 0.2% of the world’s population (about 15–16 million people out of 8+ billion). ☀️CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #God #Jesus #Chosenones #Knowmore #Truth

✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus) Fear and Bribery The women left the tomb “with fear and great joy” (Matthew 28:8). They had heard the angel declare, “He is not here, for He has risen.” The stone was moved. The grave was empty. Death had not held Him. And then—He met them. “Greetings,” Yeshua said (Matthew 28:9). They fell at His feet and worshiped Him. This was no vision. No rumor. They touched Him. He repeated the same words spoken by heaven moments earlier: “Do not be afraid.” The first command of Resurrection morning was not celebration—it was calm. Fear was being replaced with faith. But while worship was happening on the road, something else was unfolding in the city. The guards who had been posted at the tomb reported what had happened. These were trained Roman soldiers. Their duty was serious; failure could mean severe punishment. Yet instead of denying the event, they told the chief priests everything. The response was not investigation. It was containment. The priests gathered, took counsel, and offered money to the soldiers. They were instructed to say, “His disciples came by night and stole Him while we were asleep” (Matthew 28:13). It was an explanation that created more questions than answers. Sleeping guards would not know who took a body. And Roman discipline was not gentle with such failures. Still, the money was taken. The story was spread. From the very first morning, two responses to the Resurrection stood side by side: Worship. And suppression. The risen Messiah had spoken peace. But the world had already begun choosing its lie. 🙏🏼 Continued in Comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Jesus #Salvation #God #Truth #Bible #AtheistFamily #JesusIsReal

I have long believed that honesty is the bedrock of a free people. In 1776, our founders signed their names to bold words and accepted the consequences. They did not borrow another man’s thoughts and call them their own. They stood accountable before the world. Today, I rise in defense of my longtime friend, 1776 Patriot. When he publishes his work, it is the result of study, discipline, and conviction. Those words are not gathered from the labor of others and disguised. They are earned. To copy them and claim authorship is not a harmless act. It is a breach of honor. Plagiarism steals more than sentences. It steals time, effort, and credibility. A republic cannot endure on borrowed integrity. If citizens grow careless with truth, the character of the nation weakens. The spirit of 1776 was courage joined with responsibility. Let every writer do the same. If you draw from another, give credit plainly. If you speak, speak your own mind. And if you harvest praise, be certain you first planted the field. #Truth #Honesty #Transparency #BreakingNews #News #Plagerism

✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) “Do Not Be Afraid” The earth had already shaken. The stone had already moved. But the world did not yet know. “After the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week…” (Matthew 28:1), the women came—Mary Magdalene, the other Mary, and those who had loved Him enough to stay near the cross. They came carrying spices. They came expecting death. Instead, they found an empty tomb. Matthew tells us an angel of the Lord descended, his appearance “like lightning, and his clothing white as snow” (Matthew 28:3). The Roman guards trembled and fell like dead men. But the angel did not speak first to soldiers. He spoke to the women. “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.” (Matthew 28:5–6) Do not be afraid. The first command of Resurrection morning was not triumph. It was calm. The women entered and saw that the body was gone. Luke records their confusion—“they were perplexed about this” (Luke 24:4). Two men in dazzling apparel reminded them of His words: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” (Luke 24:5–6) And suddenly, they remembered. Everything He had told them. Every promise about the third day. Matthew says they departed the tomb “with fear and great joy” (Matthew 28:8). Not polished faith. Not composed theology. But trembling joy. They ran. ⸻ The Race Mary Magdalene ran to Simon Peter and the disciple whom Yeshua loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him!” (John 20:2) Even in resurrection, there was still uncertainty. Peter and John did not pause to debate. They ran. John tells us, almost breathless in detail: “The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.” (John 20:4) ✝️ Continued in Comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Salvation #Jesus #Resurrection #Help #Truth #Bible #God #Love

THE ULTIMATE NBA DEBATE…GOAT? LeBron Vs Jordan - better player? One retired over 20 years ago… The other is in his 23rd season… (prepare for “Stat Heavy” analysis) FYI to learn about NBA stats go to : probasketballreference.com When comparing players, I focus on: - stats that are w/in his control (not teammates or coaching) - “averages” more-so than accumulated stats (playing longer doesn’t = better) - real stats over “voting awards” (Points per game vs MVP, DPOY, ALL-NBA) - Ignoring feelings / memories/ public opinion / reputations - personal (NOT team!) results. Jordan didn’t win six finals. The Chicago Bulls did. My pre-research predictions: - LBJ is “volume great” -MJ is “CLUTCH great” -excited to find out #truth LETS DIG IN! *MJ is well ahead of LBJ: PPG, STL/G, FT%, BPM, TOV%, WS/48, Def Win Shares/82 games *LBJ is well ahead of MJ: REB/G, AST/G, FG%, 3PT%, eFG% *So Close!: BLK, ORtg, DRtg, PER *Who’s MORE #Clutch ? FG% Last 2 min Finals: LeBron: 48.4% Michael Jordan: 48.1% FG% Shots for lead last 24 sec: Michael: 50.0% LeBron: 44.0% Playoff TS%: LeBron: 58.3% Michael: 56.8% Clutch TS% (5 min w/in 5 pts ): LeBron: 59% MJ: 57% Turnovers /100 Poss. (5 min w/in 5 pts): LeBron: 9 MJ: 11 *FINAL VERDICT (got a coin?😅) MJ’s scoring & defensive advantages (about 3 PPG + less than a half “DWS over 82 gms”) isn’t as impressive when you consider that MJ also took 3 more shots per game. Bron’s better fg% & 3pt% put MJ’s scoring advantage into perspective IMO. LeBron’s versatility, playing every position (well!), better REB + AST, unparalleled longevity, AND yes… basically equally CLUTCH as MJ! If you don’t like my choice, I’d love to hear why! Provided of course you have empirical evidence and not…emotional hyperbole unsupported by evidence. I am quite fortunate to have watched both careers and I’ve been simply blown away by each of them. It’s a photo finish, but #LeBron’s #MYGOAT! #NikeLeBron23 #NBAMyths #LeBron #MichaelJordan
