What Life With Jesus Looks Like
Jeff Geyer
Matthew 11:28-30; 1 John 5:3
Big Idea: Following Jesus doesn't mean life becomes better; it means with Jesus I become better at life.

Tension: Over the last 3-4 months, there's something that Matthew writes down from being with Jesus that has stuck with me. It's a description that you may see on mugs, walls, shirts, and books. It's when Jesus tells the crowd about taking up His yoke and He will give us rest. But what if we have it wrong? I'm not trying to cast any doubt in you...but what if this was personal to Matthew. He is the only one who write ...
