A few weeks ago I did an episode about resting our souls in Jesus. If you haven't checked it out you may want to go check that out first, because I did go over the importance of resting our souls in Jesus if you're tired, if you're feeling weary and burdened or just exhausted. I also went into four ways to rest in Jesus very briefly on that episode, but I decided to really go into depth with those four ways and for the next four weeks we're going to go into each different way more into depth.
So today I wanted to go into resting in his word and that was the first way that I discussed on that episode. It's so important for us to study the Bible, to really study the words of Jesus Christ, and to rest in the words of Jesus Christ. All throughout the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John we see the powerful words of Jesus Christ. Today what I wanted to do is to put some of his words to read with you guys and to discuss them. There's so many words of Jesus in the Bible. If I went over each one and discussed them it would take me days of talking with you guys so I just picked some verses to go over and I put them into four different categories. I go over words of encouragement, words to fight off temptation, words of healing, and words about salvation and the new covenant.
