Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Our Lord Jesus Christ speaks this invitation to those who are burdened by sin, guilt, and the stresses of this fallen world.  Jesus has taken up the cross for you and calls you to follow, so that you might learn from Him. His gentle, lowly way reveals that God’s purposes are not to burden or trouble you, but to give you rest for your soul. Each day He says, “Come to me.”

Daily Rest is a daily devotion book inviting readers to come to Jesus, learn of His gentle and lowly ways, and find rest for their soul. Daily Rest is published quarterly by the Church of the Lutheran Confession with devotions supplied by a volunteer staff of CLC pastors and teachers.
