Rest for the Weary

This sermon is based on the scripture in Matthew 11:16-19,25-30.  Why do we feel guilty when we take time to rest?  Resting is something we don't do very well, even though it is emphasized in the Bible.  The Sabbath is a whole day that has been set aside for us to take time to refresh our mind and body and in the process draw closer to God.  Remember how God rested on the 7th day when he created the world?  The achievements and material possessions we work so hard for and are so important in this world will not exist in the next, so why do we drive ourselves so hard?
