A.B. Simpson emphasizes the profound rest that comes from exchanging our burdens with Christ, highlighting the invitation He extends to those who are weary and heavy-laden. By taking on His yoke, we find that His burdens are lighter and more manageable than our own, allowing us to experience true peace and assurance in His care for us. Simpson encourages believers to embrace this divine exchange, recognizing that Christ not only carries our cares but also intercedes for our interests. The sermon calls us to let go of our worries and to find joy in serving others rather than being consumed by our own needs.

What a rest it would be to many of us if we could exchange burdens with Christ and so utterly and irreversibly transfer to Him all our cares and needs that we would no longer feel responsible for them. We would have the assurance that He has undertaken all the care, and that He prays, labors and suffers only for us and our interests. In reality, this is what He invites us to do. Come unto me, He says, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, and then He adds, Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me (Matthew 11:28-29). He takes our yoke and we take His, and we find it a thousand times easier to carry one of His burdens than to carry our own. How much more delightful it is to spend an hour in supplication for another than five minutes in pleading for ourselves. Are we not weary of carrying our wretched loads? 'Twas for this His mercy sought you, And to all His fullness brought you, By the precious blood that bought you, Pass it on.
