Opening Discussion
Jesus Christ invites:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
At first glance, discipleship can seem like another weight to carry. Brother Wunderli teaches that the opposite is true. Jesus Christ is not our burden; He is our relief.

How does Christ strengthen us for the work before us?
Sometimes the Savior removes burdens. Often He strengthens us to carry them. His grace enables us to do what we could never do alone.

Discussion Questions

Closing Reflection
Brother Wunderli teaches that Jesus Christ is not another burden placed upon us. He is our source of relief, peace, strength, and hope.

“Come unto me.”
