When the Lord Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28), He was addressing those who were labouring to find divine blessing on the ground of law, and who felt the oppression with which the law burdened them. In natural things a man expects to find rest after his labours are ended, but there was no rest for those under law, for there was no end to the requirements of the law, "for the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth" (Rom. 7:1). The law burdened the spirit with its demands, and sin, which the law could not take away, burdened the conscience.
