Come Unto Me - General Conference through the years

April 2012- Elder Neil L. Andersen- What Thinks Christ of Me
We may not be at our very best every day, but if we are trying, Jesus’s bidding is full of encouragement and hope: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.


For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I have blogged about my experience with this scripture before.  This occurred in October 2006,  and I have started compiling a list of the general conference talks that have referred to this scripture (Matthew 11:28-30) and I will be watching for this message to continue in the upcoming conference next week.  I think with all this repetition, Jesus really wants us to know He loves us and will help us.
