Matthew 11
the Pharisees wanted everything about Jesus and God to be in a nice little box that they had figured out. That's why they didn't get John the Baptist (fasting all the time) or Jesus (eating and drinking) because neither of those two "extremes" fitted in with their opinions on things. Everything Jesus did was out of the box that they had put God in.
Reading through the accounts of Jesus life, nothing has changed, I think I've got Him all figured out and I've got Him in a "box" but when I read what He did and said, everything expands and stretches my view of God. He is so much bigger than I can imagine, He can do "immeasurably more than i can ever ask or imagine". I will never be able to have Him completely figured out. Would He be worth worshipping if I could?
Jesus can and will take our burdens if we give them over to Him. Sometimes we like holding on to them and feeling sorry for ourselves!
