risen, gentle, humble

This is the season of all things Resurrection.  In fact, every season is, ever since that Sunday and forty days thereafter when Jesus presented Himself alive through many convincing proofs and spoke about The Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3-4).  The early church couldn't get over The Resurrection, nor should we.  Yes, we need to speak of The Cross, but perhaps it's best sandwiched in between our biblical and personal testimony of The Empty Tomb, both as something which arrests one's attention and secures one's desire for the present and eternal benefits of Christ's death on our behalf.

In this regard, it's worth noting the Nature of this Resurrected One.  Though He had conquered sin and death, and would shortly be ascended and glorified, He continued to be an accessible Savior, Lord, and God.  In His earthly Life, He once said, I AM gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:29).  Certainly, He was such as a seemingly simple preacher from the lowly town of Galilee.  But as the Exalted Human and Divine Lord of the Universe?

Yes. Note that during those 40 days​ of earthly Resurrection, He not only ate with His Disciples, He ​prepared a meal for them by the Sea of Galilee, saying ​Come and have breakfast, a gentle concession to their being disoriented by Him, especially Peter (John 21:12).  As my wife used to say, "I'll follow any man who makes breakfast for me."  ​Note also that right now and until the full coming of His Kingdom, Jesus continues ​humbly to serve ​us at The Father's Right Hand​, interceding for us (Romans 8:34) since He Lives to make Intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25).

So Jesus continues to say to us and to all: 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 (Matthew 11:28-29).

This is His Eternal Nature and everlasting Invitation.  Please come.
