Church Fathers on Matthew 11:29
By what He had said, He brought His disciples to have a desire towards Him, shewing them His unspeakable excellence; and now He invites them to Him, saying, 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden.'
Whence do we all thus labour, but that we are mortal men, bearing vessels of clay which cause us much difficulty. But if the vessels of flesh are straitened, the regions of love will be enlarged. To what end then does He say, 'Come unto me,' all ye that labour, but that ye should not labour?
He calls to Him those that were labouring under the hardships of the Law, and those who are burdened with the sins of this world.
