Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

The Burden under Sin.

Secondly, Those that labour and are heavy laden under the weight and burden of their Sins; The trouble of Conscience that is upon them for their Sins, this is another thing, besides the righteousness of the Law. The other labour was from under duties, but this labour is from the sense of the weight, and burden of Sin; and we are to know that this is a great labour, and burden. Oh! when the Soul comes to be under the burden of sin, it works to purpose; it labours then indeed. The thoughts they gather together, and conscience being awakened makes a great disturbance, and causeth fears and tremblings in the Soul, the heart of a man or woman that was before sluggish, dull, heavy, and dead; when God comes to make it to be sensible of the evil of Sin, then it is quickened, enlivened, and working. You that Labour and are heavy laden; you that feel the weight of Sin upon your Souls, and know not what in the world to do; Come you to me (saith Christ) and I will give you Rest.
