“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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.
- Matthew 11:28-30
I have been thinking about what God means to me. In one of the churches I attend, the pastor preaches on salvation through accepting and declaring Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I think this belief misses the core message of Jesus’s life. Jesus Christ is love and in his love we all can find salvation.
Eternity is existing in the present without fearing or focusing on the past or future. When I realize how many mistakes I made in this life, the people I have hurt, all the chances for human love I missed, I can find forgiveness in God’s love. God is eternity, and, in the eternal, all is as it should be. In this belief, I find the peace to rest.
